Last week, I shared a few thoughts about things that molded my identity. I borrowed the analogy of gold stars and gray dots from Max Lucado’s children’s book, You Are Special.
When I chased after the gold stars, the question, “Am I enough?” dominated my thoughts.
My next couple posts will explore a little bit about identity, and lessons I’ve learned the hard way about my identity. Hopefully, it’s not too transparent! I look forward to your thoughts.
**For the record: The pictures in this post are only meant to illustrate what were once important gold stars. 🙂
