Blog Reflection

1. How have you experienced God lately? How are you praying to see God’s presence in the world? 5 complete, detailed sentences
I have seen God when on Sundays we watch online services in the morning. I have also seen him in nature outside when we go on walks. I have also heard him when the birds’ whistle and I know he is there. I pray for him to calm the spread of the coronavirus. Also, I pra for all the elderly people to stay safe and to not get sick.
2. Describe a time when you were playing outside since the “Stay at Home” went into effect. What did you do? What was the weather like? How did the outside time make you feel? 5 complete, detailed sentences
I went on a walk with my brothers and dog and on a car ride after. The weather was nice it was sunny and pretty warm. It was nice to get out and it made me happy. it also refreshed me and made me realize how power full God is. There were a lot of other people walking too and It was nice to see other people enjoying the weather too.
3. Describe one highlight and one “low-light” since your last blog post. 5 complete, detailed sentences.
Make sure to read the comment your teacher left for you after your first post during online learning.
One low light is that a lot of places are closed and you have to stay inside. It makes it a lot more boring because you cant do a lot of stuff you used to do. And it’s challenging staying in the house because it gets annoying with so many people. One high light is that it is spring break and there isn’t any school work for a week. And that will be nice to relax for a week and not have to worry about having school work for that time.

Reflection

  1. Each day I would wake up at around 10 and go to the blog to see the work. Then I would do the math for a while ad take a break. After my break, I would do any other work till lunch. Then after lunch, I would do whatever I wanted till 5 then eat supper. And after supper, I would finish anything I didn’t finish earlier, then after that, I would do what I want again.
  2. There was a lot of math, it was easy but it took a long time to finish. It was nice out most of the week so I went outside and that was fun. Also, since there wasn’t church on Sunday me my dad and two of my brothers took my dog for a walk. There wasn’t a lot of school work so I had a lot of extra time. Our family spent a lot of time together so we’re getting sick of each other.
  3. I think we have too much math homework and it takes too long. Also, the zoom chats are a good idea for some work times. And how Mrs. Z is doing some people at a time, not the whole class. I think the dragon game Mr. Kapenga has us do helps with understanding better. Also, that working at home is challenging because there are so many distractions and its hard to stay focused.

Themes of The Old Testament

Topic 1- covenant

God made a covenant with us and we need to keep it. There are two kinds of covenants an unconditional covenant and a conditional covenant. An example of a conditional covenant is God will give us the earth if we take care of it. The shaking hands are a symbol of making an agreement and to keep it just like God did with the Israelites but he didn’t shake hands. I learned what conditional and unconditional covenants are and what covenants he has with us. Also, I learned that businesses that lease property have covenants. And if you break them than they can tell you that you can lease the property any more.

 

Topic 2- call

 

God calls people today by sending someone else or by sending the holy spirit. But in bible times sometimes he would tell the person himself and the people would be scared. And they would have to completely trust in him and not worry about it. I did a map of Ethiopia because God called our family to adopt two little girls from Ethiopia. What I learned from this is that God still calls people today and not just in Bible times. Also, he calls people through other people and through other things and calls people in so many ways.

 

 

Topic 3- Sinai law

God is willing to be our God but to be his people, we have to obey his commandments. His commandments are supposed to protect us and keep us safe. But, sometimes we may think they’re making it so we cant have fun. The picture of the is that a coat is meant to keep us warm and our parents tell us to wear them so we don’t get cold but sometimes we think we’re cool when we don’t wear one. I learned that God has made a law for every part of your life. Also that if you obey the commandments then you can be one of God’s people

 

 

Topic 4- slavery/salvation

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers but he still helped them during the famine. Moses was born into slavery but he still helped the people escape. People tried to harm each other but God didn’t like that so he changed it to good. The rainbow is a symbol that God is unchanging, faithful, and present. I learned that God turns evil into good and is always helping us and watching. Also, he is always with us and never changes his promises or how much he loves us and he is always faithful.

 

 

Topic 5- salute to a king

The cycle of judges, first it would go well then everyone would sin so then God would send enemies and the people would cry out to God so he would send a judge. Then after that went on for a long time the people asked for a king to be like other nations. And during the time of the judges, all the people did as they saw fit. The big and little houses are a symbol of wanting what other people had like the Israelites wanted a king like all the other nations. I learned that we should do what God wants not what culture wants. Also that the Israelites went through the judges cycle a lot of times and didn’t learn from it.

 

 

Topic 6- conflicted/doubt

God knows that we go through times of doubt and questioning and we need to pray to him for help in tough times. Israel’s name means struggled with God and Jacob literally wrestled with God. Also, God is faithful even if we are not and he surrounds you with the right people at the right time. The needle is a symbol of when we had to put our dog down and I got really sad questioned why we had to do that. I learned that it doesn’t make you a bad Christian if you go through times of doubt and questioning. Also, that God will surround you with the right people to help you get through it and he is faithful even when you are not.

 

 

Topic 7- symbol of a lamp

God is like a candle and he will never go out or leave us so we don’t have to worry. This is known because God promised that through David the “lamp” will never go out. Even though David made many mistakes he was a man after God’s own heart. The candle represents the candles in the front of my church it fits with the lamp because I don’t ever see them snuffed out. I learned that the Israelites had lamps that they never let go out because once they went out they had no light. Also, you can make mistakes but still be someone after God’s own heart.

 

 

Topic 8- a savior

God wanted the Israelites to do good things so he made the Sinai covenant. They couldn’t keep the covenant so he offered a new one. The new one he offered would be written on their hearts and in their minds. So there would be no more sacrifice but instead, Jesus would be the ultimate sacrifice. The bread and wine are a symbol because before Jesus was sacrificed as the ultimate sacrifice he broke bread and drank wine. I learned that Jerimiah was the one who gave the new covenant and that it was based on God’s grace and forgiveness. Also, Isaiah gave many pictures of the new savior all throughout the bible.
