Help?

I am more determined than I am skilled at a lot of things, and coding is one of those things. I've taught myself a lot just by practice and reading, but I need some help...

So with that said, I'm determined to build my own site, and I'm just working on the main pages now before getting in deeper, but I can't figure out how to center these words with their appropriate icon. I can get the icons like they look, using padding, but when I put the text in, it rests at the bottom right of the icon.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
