Personal Narrative: The Revelation Of Jesus Christ

Improved Essays
Many fathers and mothers cherish each other on a daily basis whether it is knowingly or unknowingly. The first fourteen years of my life are cherished memories, memories I hold dear to my heart. For those beautiful fourteen years I was raise by my mother, Ana Reyes and my father, Rodolfo Reyes. I was raised in the beautiful city of Ontario, CA alongside two other siblings, Gladys and Nancy, my two sisters. Being the youngest in the family, I am viewed as the baby of the family regardless of my age. During my early days I enjoyed playing the baby role, household responsibilities were left to my sisters. Being the baby in the family definitely came with its perks. From my childlike mind, my perspective towards my family was perfectly imperfect …show more content…
This scripture puts into words how I deal with the various trials of life. The trials we come across are challenging and often painful, however the depth of meaning created on their behalf is often worth the pain. These trials in life are simply a test of our faith, of who we are, what we believe in, and most importantly if we are ready for the outcome, the revelation. Trials come in all shapes and sizes and in many forms, but the one thing they all have in common is the results that remain with us for a lifetime. Many trials involve those that we love. For me, it was my father. My father the man right by my side became my angel directly above in a blink of an eye. The emotional attachment in terms of time was short lived, but the love created outweighed the infinity of the universe. The morals and values instilled in me by my father is my motivation to continue to persevere through all of life’s obstacles. My father’s influence was so profound that even in his absence it continues to encourage my directional path in life, which is to serve those in need. Through my trials of life I have experienced pain, trauma, anger and sadness, however …show more content…
I have been fortunate enough to interact and also interview the individuals that hold these positions. The position I have always gravitated to the most has been a School Psychologist. I want to support students’ ability to learn as well as assist the teachers’ ability to teach. I am committed to my future career as a school psychologist I truly believe my presence will make a difference for the students I will serve and also their parents. The values I attend to materialize within my work, as a school psychologist is the value of doing the most I can for each student that crosses my path. To see students as individuals that need advocates for their academic, emotional, behavior and social needs. The special personal quality I posses that will benefit those I serve as well as myself is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, being empathic. Empathy, however is also going to present itself as a challenge. The ability to not involve myself emotionally is what I have already recognized as a personal trial I am going to have to overcome the ability to create a

    When I was plugging in the “BEPARTOFTIMEINATOR”, I got a message from my classmate saying,”Chris did you do the History work on the renaissance”. Then I replied,” OH NO I forgot to do it.” Then as the “BEPARTOFTIMEINATOR” powered up I dialed “1495, Leonardo Da Vinci, the maker of The Last Supper” into the keypad. The machine made engine noises and it opened up a vortex.…

    It says in the book of acts that "and they said, believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, And thy house" (act 16:31, KJV). Looking back on my passed five years of knowing Jesus I would describe it as a rollercoaster ride. Back in sixith grade I was going through a transition from Crosswalk to Hang time, Elementary School to middle school, and ultimately finding who I was and knowing Jesus. It was my 2011 Hangtime Winter Whiteout when I accepted Jesus into my life. Every year we do this thing called " Cry Night " that Winter Whiteout in particular we watched clips from "The Passion of Christ " and it was to the song " How He Loves " by David Crowder.…

    Many people don’t know what they want to be when they “grow up”, as for my mother she didn’t know what type of religion she wanted to be in when she “grew up”. However, she did know the basics that she believed in which was God, the Holy Spirit, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible that being said she considered herself Christian and raised me as a Non-Denominational Christian. That was until my senior year of High School when my mom decided she no longer wanted to be part of the Non-Denominational Christian faith and switched over to becoming part of the LDS faith known as the Mormons and flipped my life upside-down with their different views of norms and values. Growing up Non-Denominational Christian is fairly simple faith and to me…

    God allows certain things to happen in our lives so that we can grow in faith and knowledge. But keep in mind you do not always have to learn by trial and error. He humbles us when we submit to his plan, and protects us from evil. At times it is hard to see God working in our life but in due time He will reveal His works to you.…

    My worldview closely resembles the Biblical Worldview described in the Charry text, but by no means is anywhere near where it could be. My Christian character will continue to develop and mature throughout my life as I continue to study the scriptures, commune with God in prayer, continually ask for repentance, and forgiving those who have showed transgressions toward me. L. Gregory Jones states, “Christian living requires a willingness to inquire after the God of Jesus Christ, an inquiry which shapes us a people of repentance and forgiveness” (Charry, 2000, p. 204). Repentance and forgiveness are two aspects of the Christian walk that I struggle with. There are many times that I get so busy with life that I forget to prayerfully repent…

    It's a hard thing describing Jesus. There are so many different adjectives and stories, miracles and revolutions, and simple awe-inspiring traits that could define Jesus and I can't seem to nail down only one. However, if I could describe what he means to me, who I believe He truly is, I think I would have to go with Savior [Acts 4:12 - "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." ] I was saved when I was 6 years old.…

    From the words of the profound psychoanalysis Carl Jung, “No tree can grow to Heaven unless its roots reach down to Hell.” We all endure pain and suffering, it is a necessary component of life. However, it is how we choose to handle ourselves under these states that testifies who we are. It is such a small thing to have fallen, we all fall in life. However, it is how we stand back up that counts.…

    I vividly remember the first time I got on my knees to pray. I was four-years-old, and I was with my mom. She taught me the Lord’s Prayer, and after that she told me to repeat these words: “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take” (Johnstone). The last part of the prayer is what my family always said which was “bless mommy and daddy, and everyone in the whole wide world.…

    On August 26, 2005, I gave my life to Christ, and it was the start of a whole new chapter of my journey. I still remember that night vividly in my head. The feelings of excitement, joy, and love were very tangible in my heart. My mom and dad were both sitting beside me on my bed while I was told the importance of this decision and how my life would never be the same. Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…
