Cheatham Session 1 Journal

Last year was a very tough year for me, in April I was having health issues and I found out that I would have to have a operation that would take me off of work for 6 weeks. Right before it was

time for me to go back to work, I was terminated, I couldn't believe it!! The part of me getting terminated was hard, but the worse part was how and when it was done. I was so hurt because I

have been with this company for 8 years. That's 8 years of my time, blood, sweat and tears. time that I would never get back, time that kept me away from my sons and missing

out on games and other school functions that they had. I begin to hate and blame myself because to me if I hadn't of had that operation I would still be working. I went through a bad spell to

After talking to a Psychologist, they sent me back to the sitting room and while I was looking around, I began to feel compassion, I started wanting to

help those that was in the mental ward that the nurses and Psychologist have already written off as a Manic Depressive, Bi Polar, or even Schizophrenic. I saw a cry for help, I saw people were

hurting and in pain, I saw people that had a chance to have a life again. When they let me go I begin to pray and ask God to help and heal me, I then began to ask him to help and heal those

people and to put me into a position to where he can use me to be of service to him, to begin to use me to help those who have been written off and to use me to let them know that no matter

what trials may come and even more no matter how man tries to label you as, it's not written in stone because God has the final word. So I'm going to school for God to use me in this field,

it's my calling, I didn't want to go to a college to where I will have to be taught how to handle people the world's way, I wanted to go to a college that can teach me God's way and use that to

have a successful ministry, not just a

    There are many incidents in which I had no control of. However, the one in which I felt most miserable was when my grandmother was forced to move to New York. I was in fifth grade at the time when my aunt came down and said she was taking my grandmother with her to provide better care for her. There were no emotions to describe what I was feeling that day. I didn't know what to do, and I had no input in the decision.…

    *National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day* Today is _National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day_. While he was in office, President Ronald Reagan designated October 1988 as _Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month_, which he began to remember pregnancy loss and infant death including, but not limited to, miscarriage, still birth, SIDS or the death of a newborn. Prior to social media, I never knew that such a day/month of remembrance existed, but I remember and often think about the two babies we lost to miscarriages in 1995 and 1996. I think about them in relation to the other young adults in our family and at the Kingdom Hall, and I wonder whether they were boys or girls, what they would have looked like, and what kind of personalities they would have had.…

    One of the keys coming into the playoffs was to generate a pass rush to take the pressure off of a beleaguered secondary that was ravaged by injuries late in the season. They did exactly that on the first play for the Seahawks it was a tackle for loss the next play was a pick six by Luke Kuechly throwing a haymaker up 14-0 just 3 1/2 minutes into the game a magical start they continued through the first half. The pressure we were able to generate was a sight for sore eyes, as the outside guys hadn't gotten a sack since the Thanksgiving showdown against Dallas. It was great to see us force Russell Wilson into bad decisions and put them behind the chains with four sacks.…

    Any rich story weaves in symbolism and foreshadowing. This enhances the meaning of the narrative, gives the audience clues to the future, and sets the stage for multiple themes. The drama of the Bible checks all of these boxes and then some. Although there are many characters in the first formative years of Israel’s existence, the character of Joshua, leads Israel into a temporary Promised Land, which foreshadows the role that Jesus plays in the unfolding narrative. Joshua was critical to the establishment of Israel as their own country, leading them to a land to call their own.…

    I seek to make a change in this world that ripples beyond my immediate circle. Often individuals, particularly students, are told that this world is a cruel place and they must learn to withstand it. My hope as a future educator is to teach students that the world is not a place to be withstood; that is not their purpose: they are here to make the world a little less cruel. Perhaps I could do this within my personal relationships but, as a Christian, I am called to go out into the world and share the gospel. The gospel is overflowing with sacrificial love and I hope my career mirrors the love I have received from Christ.…

    “Fisherman of Men” This final paper is something I have been thinking about for the past week trying to decided what I was going to write about what I was struggling with concerning the topics in which we have covered within the last eight weeks. I’ve re-read all of my papers and discussion board post, and I finally came to the conclusion that I feel very comfortable in what I have learned in this class. This versus has been something I have been praying over for the last six months Matthew 4:19 says “And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19 ESV) However what I am going to talk about is something that I have been praying over, and studying within Gods word over the six months, and that question is have a been called to be a just a active church member serving where me and my fiancée needed or is their a much higher calling in the form of a youth leader, a associate pastor, or a pastor one day.…

    As a believer in Christ, it is the root belief that God is actively involved in His creation. Even when mankind fell into sin, God made a plan to redeem his children by sending his Son Jesus to die on the cross for everyone’s sins. I believe that God is actively involved in life thru the Holy Spirit. As Christ followers, there is a desire to please God by showing His love and kindness to others. It is by Christ’s example that sets us apart from the world.…

    The first time someone suggested that I should become a teacher I was both surprised and skeptical. But after giving the suggestion some thought, I came to realize that in many ways God had already been preparing me to teach long before anyone had even made such a suggestion. Throughout my years in school, God had provided me with numerous experiences and mentors that helped prepare me to embrace God’s calling for me to become a distinctly Christian agriculture educator with unique personal qualities and high expectations for the future. During my high school career, I was blessed with several mentors who encouraged and supported me in my goal of becoming and Ag teacher. Perhaps the most influential person was my high school Ag teacher.…

    The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
