Human beings are intricately unique and deeply loved by God. Psalm 139:13-14 says “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well.” God has blessed me, personally, with strengths which define my meaning and purpose.

As I continue to pursue God’s will, these strengths will…

It’s your life and it’s now or never. Your life is what you make it and only you can make it what you want. Not one person can change how your life will turn out or be, only you can. The life you are given is your and only yours. So why should you make the best of it? You don’t want to live forever with this life on Earth would you? This journey is only temporary so make it the best. Anything can happen in a blink of an eye and so why not live in the moment. Live every day like it’s your…

A Legacy for my Babies In today 's society [2] our lives are mapped out for us from the moment we take our first breaths. Starting with learning to walk, learning to talk, and eventually being molded into someone acceptable to contribute to society. We have all become conditioned to believe that if we work hard we will be rewarded. But what is the greatest reward of all? The greatest reward that I have recieved is my children. I find no better joy than watching them learn and grow everyday.…

The essay “The Ordeal of Change” written by Eric Hoffer indicates people are afraid of drastic change in their life that would dramatically cause them to be misfit and out of place, and the solution of putting that fear into action is there must be “an abundance of opportunities”, and also “a tradition of self-reliance”. According to Hoffer, “Even the change from peas to string beans had in it elements of fear”; This means that even a change as small as a bean can cause great amount of fears,…

I believe that the willingness to leave the man in the well displays the cruelty of the children. With that being said I also believe they were just children trying to have fun,…
