I Am...

Make me like You, Lord. Make me humble, kind, understanding, generous, and loving.

I Am...
Morgan Bandy

I Am Eve

God has given me life, given me everything I need to be sustainable, but I fall. He gives me everything I could ever want or need, and yet I want the one fruit he says I can't have. I allow myself to be deceived by someone or something who doesn't even compare to God. I eat the fruit, and I fall. I fail him, but He will redeem me.

I Am Cain

I am filled with jealousy and rage. I envy those who have what I do not. I envy those who are more well liked. I think that God loves and favors someone over me.. He doesn't. I kill my brother. I don't kill him with a rock. I kill him with my thoughts and with my words. My lack of love for them is a murder weapon.

I Am Moses

I killed a man, I sinned, I ran. God still redeems me. God calls me to do His work, to save His people, to lead them to Him. I make excuses on why I am not qualified, why I am not good enough, God calls me, with the call He will equip me, I only need to trust Him.

I Am Aaron

God commands me to have no other idols, to follow His laws. I grow impatient and I make for myself my own god. I make my job, family, social media, and friends my god. I put them before Him. Still, I am loved by You.

I Am the Lame Man

I sinned, I was lost, but Lord, you healed me. You make me new. I am saved, healed, and redeemed by Your love, word, and sacrifice.

I Am Peter

I follow You and love You. You have given me every reason to believe that You are the Son of God. You restored and renewed me. You show Your love and favor for me. To You, I proclaim that You are Lord, that You are my savior, but I have denied You to others. Yet, Your grace abounds and You love me.

I Am Barabbas

I am a criminal. I have killed and broken many other laws. I stood next to a righteous man and still I was set free. It should have been me on that cross. I should have been deemed a criminal. I should have died and suffered for what I've done. The people should have set You free and taken me. You took my place, when You had no sins of Your own.


Make me like You, Lord. Make me humble, kind, understanding, generous, and loving. Help me love those who have done me wrong. Help me to give to those who are in need and help them with all that I can. Make me patient with those around me and with myself. Help me make Your word and love known to others.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
