God at Work

In Bible class we have been learning about Paul. We learned that he was once a God hater but then was turned into a God lover. God was preparing Paul throughout his whole life and he didn’t even realize it. Some of the things was that he was very smart and he knew parts of the Bible. He also was a tent maker this would help him if he was on missions trip and needed someplace to rest on the way. Another thing is that he had the Roman soldiers on his side so that help him if he ever got into trouble.
God did many things in Paul’s life he has also been doing things in my life. I think that God has been giving me the right friends to hang around that are good Christians and will lead me in a deeper relationship with Him. I think one of the things that God could use in the future is my gift of knowing spanish. God has already given me the opportunity to use my spanish to tell people about God and be able to pray for them. When I went to Puerto Rico with my dad and a few other people from my church I got to talk to people and be able to understand them when the others couldn’t. I think that God will have me use my spanish in the future.

Present Day Persecution

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about Christian Persecution. My group studied the country Laos, Laos is number 20 on the word watch list. Always when I though about persecution I would always think about it in the Bible I never knew how bad it was in real life. This project really impacted me and how I live my life.

Spaghetti Towers

I had Grace, Jaiden and Audrey in my group for the Spaghetti tower project. A couple things that went well in our group is we worked together, we listened to each others ideas and we all did the things we needed to do. What didn’t go well is our tower isn’t as good as we though it was going to be. If I could change something it would probably be the style of the tower so it was more sturdy.

Theme Writing

Theme Writing
-1 John 4:10 -11-
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
I’ve always thought it was cool how the 8th graders could pick the theme verse every year. Every year the theme verses would always seem to fit in with what was happening that year. We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world.
This verse shows me that as an 8th grader we should always love. We should love people even if they don’t love us back. Sometimes it’s hard to love people that are maybe mean to you but in the bible it tells us to love your neighbor as you would love yourself. Both these verses tell us that we should love everyone even if it’s hard. At school we can show love by always being aware of the people around us. We can also show love
As Christians this verse tell us that we should love everyone around us even if it’s hard. When this verse tells us that we ought to love one another it’s not just telling us we should love the people around us but we should love the people of the world. There’s a lot of people in the world and God wants everyone to feel loved. A way that we can love people that we may not know, is going out and praying for people. God can give us incredible words and show us to people that need to be shown God’s love. God does everything for a reason he wants you to be in the right place at the right time that’s why we should be always listening to God and what He is telling us. I feel like this verse shows us how important it is to love one another and how it can change someone’s day by just saying something kind and loving.
We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world. In the world it is so important to love it’s one of the most important things. If we don’t love nothing really matters. Jesus tell us that we should always love and care for others even in difficult situations. Jesus is one of the biggest examples of love he chose to die on the cross to save us even if it meant a painful death.

Boat Races in Science

In science we created a boat that had to be able to move down a tube filled with water without it sinking. In our first trial our boat finished first in 8.03 seconds. For the second trial the change that we are making is we are putting a popsicle stick in the front to make the front of the boat rise up to give it more speed. I hope that our boat will finish first again and finish in a better time.

Summer 2017

This summer I got to do so many fun things. My grandma and grandpa have a place in Brandson, Missouri. We went up there this summer for a week. The second day in Brandson I had a day alone with my grandma and grandpa. They took me to a zoo and a tiger sanctuary. At the zoo I got to hold a baby kangaroo, we also got to go on a tram ride. We got to feed camels, deer and so much more. When we were done at the zoo we went to the tiger sanctuary. At the tiger sanctuary I got to get up close a meet the tigers. I also got to feed the lions, it was so cool!

Microfinanzas

Que aprendi
Mi tema es microempresas. Las microempresas son buenas para personas que necesitan ayuda en alentar en su vida. Mucha gente necesita trabajar muy duro para que una micropresa.. Aprendí que hay muchas cosas difíciles de los trabajos en Africa si no tienes un microempresa. Microempresas ayudan a muchas personas, da a ellos dinero para que pueden tener un trabajo bueno que puede dar a ellos suficiente dinero para comprar comida para su familia.

Quienes somos
Yo aprendí que podemos ayudar. Aunque somos al otro lado del mundo podemos cambiar las vidas de otros. En muchos otros lugares personas no tienen mucho dinero y es muy difícil para ellos. Todos nosotros somos personas y todos vamos a necesitar ayuda en nuestras vidas. Cuando necesitamos ayuda queremos alguien para ayudar a nosotros. Pero cuando otros quieren ayuda no queremos ayudar por la razón.

Quien es el
Dios me enseño que aunque estos personas no tienen mucho todavía están feliz con las cosas que tienen. Él está trabajando dentro de las personas que están ayudando a las otras personas tener microempresas. Las microempresas ayuda a nosotros ver que Dios nunca deja a nosotros y que tiene un plan aunque si no podemos ver. Las microempresas son una representación de que Dios está ayudando a todos. El está en las personas que dan microempresas a las otras personas.

Quien soy yo
Yo aprendí que mi familia es muy bendecida. Dios ha bendecido nosotros mucho. Levantamos cada mañana con algo para comer. Y nunca necesitamos caminar o levantar temprano para ir y comprar nuestro comida de un mercado o un otro lugar. Nunca estamos miedo que no tenemos demasiado dinero. Dios a proven sido a nosotros con tantas cosas. Muchas personas que no tienen microempresas en África despiertan y no saben si van a poder comer. Yo tengo el opción de comer cuando quiero.

Llamado a la acción
Ahora cada vez que compro algo por un dólar voy a pensar en las personas que solo están pagado un dólar cada dia. Todo el dinero que ganan necesita poder comprar comida para su familia. Todo ese dinero que ganan es mucho para sus vidas. Si no tenían microempresas sus vidas serían muy diferentes y difíciles. Las microempresas pueden ayudar a muchas personas.

Invictus

I think Nelson Mandela was a very good leader. Even when their world was divided he brought them toghther with his speeches and his actions. He made sure everyone was always treated correctly and he always made sure his bodyguards where smiling. In the beginning of the movie there was a lot of violence. There was videos of people fighting and protesting. At the end of the movie it was almost like everyone forgot about the past and was united. People were celebrating toghther and they didn’t care if they were white or black they still hugged and cheered. Everyone learned how to work toghther.
