Reflection On My Personal Theology

Improved Essays
I believe that my top five strengths have definitely played a major role in shaping my personal theology and who I am today. My first strength is competition, which of course is a major part of me. My competitive nature is probably what has driven me to excel in all things I do, particularly in sports and education. Sometimes this characteristic of mine can be quite annoying though, because I tend to take things to seriously even when it should be a lighthearted event. My second strength is discipline. Discipline is another key quality of mine that has allowed me to excel in what I do. This one is definitely more useful to my theology than the last strength. Having this strength helps me to continue to read the Bible and pray every daily. My disciplined religious routine has helped me move forward in my walk …show more content…
My faith was certainly shaken up quite a bit while the treatments were happening, but I was consoled by my church family and my regular family and they helped me to understand the problem of evil in the world. Another very recent and ongoing experience I have had is going to school here. This school has provided me with a great Christian atmosphere that has been exactly what I needed at this point in my life to keep moving forward and grow in my spiritual life. I feel it would have been much harder for me to thrive at a non-Christian university. I personally believe that my theology has played a big part in influencing who I am and I think it will continue to shape me into the kind of person that I want to be in the future. My theology has just helped me to be a kinder person in general; I have a heart for people and I do not think it would have been like that without my personal theology. Wherever I go or in whatever I am doing, I always hope that people can see what I do and how I act and tell that I am a Christian

    One strength I agree is, Jack-Of-All-Trades, this means with my strategic mind and analytical capabilities, I can analyze everything and eventually figure it out along with fix whatever life throws at me. Determination, if a project or assignment interest me, I will excel and probably go beyond on it, but this is only if I take an interest in it. General things that interest me is engineering things, science related projects (NOT biology), and problem solving whether it be law, math, science, or strategy. Another relatable strength would be independence; I do not like relying on others since I generally give little trust to most people. In a group the project the only way I can be 100% sure it is finished, is by doing the work myself.…

    I might not be first in my class, or I might not always get the best grades in the class, but I always have that determination to work hard to be the best that I can possibly be. When I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, I always want to be able to tell myself that I will and have done the best that I can. Another strength of mine would have to be that I am well organized. I like to have all my academic school work organized, which I believe also helps me cope with time management. Being well organized, makes getting my school work done efficiently and due on time possible by knowing when my assignments are due, and where my assignments are, rather than losing track of my work which may take extra time out of my day to find that information, which ultimately gives myself less time to study and get the most out of my education.…

    How My Faith Defines Who I Am Faith: having a strong belief in a religion, or an even stronger belief in a God. I personally believe in God the Father, and that he created each and every one of us in his own image. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sin and brought us new life through his death and resurrection. In my faith I stand as a Catholic, which means I believe in only one God. However, God is three persons, also known as the Holy Trinity, meaning there is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.…
