Colorado Christian Reflection Paper

The influences of my work and goals at Colorado Christian University is first and for most the Lord Jesus by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit. A factor in which helped me think of this opportunity was Pastor Ricky who himself is not only a pastor he wears many hats a dad, works a job, is about to start a bus ministry, and He is a student at a different online university.
See back in 2001 I had just Graduated High School from a Christian high school in
Anchorage, Alaska. So my church at the time wanted to try and start a Bible College and so I attended one year of it with many struggles because I still was not yet strong in my Christianity of maturity. So I then made many bad choices. That was a time in life of living both sides of the

In which shows I have grown in my spiritual maturity since leaving right out of high school stage in life.
I am now 34 so you understand that has taken me some long few tough rough years.
The power of the Holy Spirit is what has changed me and helped me see that the influence of pastor’s idea of school was and is a Godly good goal and that ultimately willed by Christ. One scripture I have always loved through my life is Jeremiah 29:11 from the NIV version For I know the Plans I have for you declares the Lord Plans to prosper you and not to harm you to give you a hope and a future. This states that Gods plan for our lives has hope and is good for us. So in life to this point the Lord has taught me that life in the natural and life in the spiritual when lived in the right manner and by the Lords order has power and his favor when his plan is obeyed. So to do well in my journey at Colorado Christian University it has not only been inspired by man and the Holy Spirit but by Gods written word itself. Another verse is
Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Him who gives me

To start with the rededication of my life to Christ, it was shortly after my separation and I went through a period of time lost and without purpose. My parents had been trying to get me to start going to church again and I was hesitant at first. Soon after starting back to church I was drawn by the Lord to rededicate my life and started to change a lot of things about myself in that time.…
