The journal entry that I choose for my best-self came from reflection one under the category of community involvement. This journal entry is a picture of my best-self. As I stated early, I am a Christian. The highest or best thing a Christian can do is love God with all their heart, mind, soul, body, and strength. The next best thing a Christian can do is love their neighbor as their self. This entry is a picture of my best-self because it involves helping others. I love to show God’s love. What better way is there to honor God and show God’s love, then to help others through his name? When I help people, I let them know, I am doing it because God loves them and I do too. I let them know that God cares and has not forgotten about them.

These journal entries help me think and debrief myself and I think the entries definitely benefited in class discussions.

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable.

When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
