Blessings From My Week – A Picture a Day
Hey, everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to take a picture each day of the week and share those here! Going off of the unintentional theme we’ve had lately on our blog about finding the blessings in our ordinary lives, I hoped this would be a good challenge for me. My intention for this post was in no way to try to show how “good” my life is, but just to show my highlights from a pretty ordinary week in my life. My life is pretty “ordinary”, so I think that this was really helpful for me to start looking harder for…

Remembering Who We Are
Hey, everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. I’ve recently been thinking a lot about identity. The world seems to have a lot of thoughts on identity these days. Wikipedia says, “Identities are strongly associated with self-image…, self-esteem, and individuality”. Our identities seem to be these very personal ideas of ourselves that capture our lives, our occupations, our thoughts, and our core beings. Our identities shape who we are, and ultimately are what drive us to do what we do in our lives. If I identify as a Christian, then everything that I am and live for should mirror those principles. If I identify myself as anything, then I will look like…
