I think that doing this seven last words was a cool activity to refresh our minds that we a lot of times we don’t do these so it was a good reminder.I think one thing I need to work on is empathize with humanity feel with others because I think that I am happy for people if they do good but not as sad with them when they do bad.
I learned something in church this week. Our pastor said something that hit me, He said “If all of the real christians gave 10% of their salary like they are supposed to do we would have 46,000,000,000 dollars which would allow us to end malaria and shelter 20,000 refugees in Africa and have 100,000 fresh water wells in Africa and end some desease and still have billions of dollars left to spare. It surprised me that that is all we had to do to end all of this bad stuff and that is what God says to do give 10% and that is all we have to do.

The name of this book is Running for my life and the author is Lopez Lomong. Summary of the book is Lopez is taken from his mom in a little sudanese tribe/city. He was taken to a camp to train to be soldiers. He escapes with 3 older boys and runs for 4 days straight with no food and no water they had to find water and food, they had no shoes or nothing. They got to a refugee camp in in I think in kenya where he was there,he woke up the next morning and the three boys that ran with him were gone so he called them his three angels. He was in the refugee camp for ten years where they lived in tents and their daily routine was run for two miles and then play soccer all day. When he was sixteen he came to the united states and got adopted. He eventually reunited with his mom in kimotong, Sudan.From this book I learned to trust God, lopez was a christian and trusted God through everything that happened in his journey
I learned to trust God when Lopez was running for his life. He was with his “Three angels” and had to survive through no food, no water and wildlife. Everytime he woke up he knew that God would take care of him, like one time he woke up right next to a king cobra and he didn’t get bit and that shows he trusted God. He trusted God that he would find water and he did there was a big leaf that was full of water and they drank it and that is what kept them alive, they killed an animal and ate it and that kept them alive so he was like 1 inch away from dying a lot of times but he trusted God and he lived.
I learned to trust God when Lopez was at the refugee camp. He had to trust that those men would not find him and when he had the chance to go to the U.S. that God would allow him to go. He had to trust God to allow him to write a good paper about why he should go to the United States.
I learned to trust God when he went to the United states and had to go to the family that adopted him. He had to trust that the family was not going to a bad and abusive family and had to trust that he would maybe see his family again. He had to trust that it would be a better home for him than at the refugee camp or in sudan.
From this book I learned to trust God, lopez was a christian and trusted God through everything that happened in his journey. This book was by far my favorite book, I read it in three days and it was like 400 pages so it was really good.
