Who Am I?

The Lord resolved my identity crisis.

Who Am I?

If you are low on self-esteem and trying to remember your value, the best place to look is to our Creator Himself. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, His opinion and intention should matter most. I was having a hard time remembering my identity and decided to start asking God who I was and what I meant to Him. I have compiled a list from the Bible where the Lord showed me who we each are. I hope reading this will feed your soul. I have found that reading this list daily to myself has begun to resolve my identity crisis.

1. Beloved

I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

- Jeremiah 31:3

2. A Child of God

See what great love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called Children of God.

- 1 John 3:1

3. Delighted In

The Lord your God us with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you.

- Zephaniah 3:17

4. Forgiven

By His wounds you have been healed.

- 1 Peter 2:24

5. Washed Clean

Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be washed white as snow.

- Isaiah 1:18

6. Free

It is for Freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then.

- Galatians 5:1

7. A Saint

You were washed, you were sanctified.

- 1 Corinthians 6:11

8. Set Apart

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession.

- 1 Peter 2:9

9. An Ambassador of Christ

We are therefore ambassadors of Christ.

10. A Co-Laborer

For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

- 1 Corinthians 3:9

11. A Sweet Aroma

For we are to God the pleasing aroma among those who are being saved.

- 2 Corinthians 2:15

12. Strong

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

- 2 Corinthians 12:10

13. Righteous

(v. 6) ...It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

- Romans 3:21-26

14. Conqueror

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

- Romans 8:37-39

15. Called

(v. 14) ...Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you...

- 1 Timothy 4:12-16

16. Precious

you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

- 1 Peter 2:4-5

17. A Lily Among Thorns

Beloved: I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

Bridegroom: As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

- Song of Solomon 2:1-2

18. Bride of Christ

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

- Song of Solomon 4:9

19. One in Christ

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

- Galatians 3:27-29

20. Chosen

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

- Jeremiah 1:5

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
