What Did You Learn From The Experience

Improved Essays
did you learn from the experience? On the day of April 27, 2014, Jesus has walked into my soul. Before I surrendered my entire life to Jesus, I grew up catholic with no understanding about god. Without experiencing any wisdom or faith through elementary school until the middle of high school about my own belief made me believe I failed as an individual. The unknowing about God had me go the wrong direction in life. The emptiness and confusion left me questioning myself if there is a god. Growing up without faith or discovery of god compels me to recognize how life is fragile and important. My parents always forced me to go to a catholic church every Saturday, but it was leading me into wrongdoings because I never understand. Years later, …show more content…
I started to imagine thoughts like, "What if I choke on the holy water and drown while they 're dunking my head?" or "What if I urinate in the water?" Eventually, my sister calmed me down because I was not going to be baptized alone. My sister was going to be in the holy tub with me to make the day memorable for everyone. Within seconds later, we decided that my sister gets dunked first and then me afterward because she always goes first for everything we do together. When it was my turn, I kneeled inside the lukewarm water and waited patiently until the prayer was given to me. Thoughts began to circulate my brain again and before I know it, the holy water splashed onto my face as I went under. I was in full of exhilaration and at ease from God awakening me to be in his presence. I knew this was going to be a new chapter in my life with God helping myself to become a humble and righteous person. As before, my negative way of thinking caused me to reflect on how inconsiderate I was treating people with no respect and acting on poor life threatening decisions. My hostility within myself affected who I was as a person, which I desperately needed to transform. I could not manage all the critical energy that was brought out of me. God is the only way to improve my problems I was dealing with at the time. He brought me love, comfort, and trust which greatly impacted my conception of him. It was …show more content…
From the beginning of going to church, I was familiar with all the kids already so it gave me a good start to get to know each one. Every Sunday I teach the kids new lessons and prayers so they can apply it to their daily lives. It is very eventful teaching the kids because each one of them is engaged and they actually want to learn who Jesus is all about. Some kids know a great deal of intelligence at a very young age. I have a class of about 10-15 students with distinct personas. I can see they 're growing each week by learning different bible verses and lessons being taught to them. By having an older figure teaching them who Jesus is and does for them is a big step of becoming closer with god. Starting at a younger age makes an influential effect of grasping the aspect of god. Little kids tend to believe about anything, which makes it easier to get their attention. Not all students understand what I am informing them about. Some of my students tend to drift off to space and choose to not listen which makes me upset because they remind me of myself before I got saved. It 's my responsibility to take account for their actions. All I aspire, my children is to attain success, be thankful, and know what god has in store for them. I 've grown so attached to each one of them now; it 's hard to see them fall apart. As I was developing as a kid, I rarely

    Week Three Devotional God is in the people business and the command is simple; go, baptize, and teach. Why? Because Jesus, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, said so. The slave is not greater than the Master and as His bond servants, our obedience is not optional but is a requirement. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17 KJV). It seems that as we get older we become our hearing diminishes.…

    It’s very strange how one experience or choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life that follows that event, would you then in turn change these decisions you made. Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew. This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…

    My main goal is to shape young people into disciples filled with Bible knowledge and to help send them out in the world to witness to the unsaved. I plan to do this by combining the discipleship model and the ministry model talked about by Richard R. Dunn in his book, “Reaching A Generation For Christ”. He states that the philosophy of the discipleship model as, “The discipleship model trains students to be God’s people in an ungodly world, equipped with Bible study and prayer skills developed in a caring atmosphere with a view to reproducing their Christian lives in other” (175). This philosophy would be fulfilled by small groups or “trainings” held on a weekly basis. I would like to keep a very close, relational youth group.…

    My spiritual journey of faith has turned me into more of a “mutt” than a “purebred” Christian because of the variety of denominations and international churches that I have experienced so far in my life. For starters, I grew up in a “every Sunday” church family. In fact, I was at church the very next Sunday after being born. My first church was part of the Assemblies of God. However, a few years later my parents divorced and we ended up at a non-denomination church, where I spent the next 20 years.…
