Lately, in Bible class we have been studying Paul’s journey and life. One thing in Paul’s past life that helped him in his ministry was that he used to be a Jesus-hater. This way he was able to empathize with who he was teaching. He also was jewish, so he had patience with the Jews he taught. Since Paul used to be a tentmaker, he could make tents for himself when he was on his journeys. Before he was converted, Paul even set out to destroy the church. This made him aware that not everyone loved Jesus.

I believe God has been at work through my skills and my hard work. Ever since I’ve started playing the drums, I’ve just gotten better. The same goes for running. Another thing that God has been at work in me is my hard work in school. At the beginning of school this year I set a goal to get the best grades than any other year. So far I’m succeeding. Some elements of my past that God may use to further his kingdom are the people that I have lost in my life. Later in life, I may use my experience to help others who have also lost people.

These past few months we’ve been researching volcanoes and studying. So, being in school and all, we all had to make a volcano that represented a real volcano. You could’ve made it explode or you could’ve not made it explode. We made it not explode. It was supposed to represent the volcano Paricutin in Mexico. I don’t think it looked like it at all. Paricutin is a cinder-cone volcano that is dormant. This blog is a little late but I completely forgot about it because I was so excited for spring break.
