Part 1:

1.  “Do you ever have one of those moments…like…if you could just freeze it? It’s so beautiful.” If you could freeze a moment from your life, what moment would that be? Please write about this moment.

I have a lot of moments that I wish I could freeze. But one of them that I wish I could freeze is when i’m with my family and cousins. We always have a lot of fun and It would be cool I you could actually freeze time so that it could last longer.

Part 2:

1. What do you think God is whispering to you right now? How does His presence comfort you? 

I don’t really think he is whispering something to me right now. His presence comforts me when I am nervous of anxious about stuff.

 

1. What did you learn or think about the most this week from our theme “Psalms teach us to say, “Forgive me, Lord”. Was there a phrase from a Psalm that stood out? When did you stop this week to ask God for forgiveness? 
   
   This week i thought mostly about how we aren’t perfect and we all do stuff that isn’t great. A psalm that stood out to me was Psalm 51:2.  It says ” Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” It stood out to me because its like us asking for forgiveness and what we want to happen and what we need to do to be forgiven.I asked for forgiveness after i finished school work.

 

1. With forgiveness comes repentance. To “repent” literally means to change directions. After we ask forgiveness, receiving God’s grace can cause us to want to act differently than before–to repent. Tell a story about a time when you acted differently after asking for forgiveness. OR tell about something that you would like to do differently in order to better reflect God’s love. What happened? How did you feel?
   

After I ask for forgiveness I could change how I treat others. I could do a lot of things to reflect Gods love, I could be kinder I guess and be more helpful to others. I don’t have any stories about how after being forgiven I acted different. I’m sure that when it happens it will be cool and I could reflect God more and more.

 

1. Tell a story about something creative that you did this week. What happened? Who was a part of making it happen? 

This week i didn’t do many things I would consider being creative. I guess something creative is that I have started designing clothes for fun. I was mostly part of making it happen but I used my moms iPad to draw them. I also went outside and went on my hammock with my sisters I guess that is kind of creative. I also painted rocks so I did some art this week.

 

1. Did God speak to you clearly this week when choosing the possible theme? If so, describe what that was like. If you did not hear God’s voice, how did that make you feel? Did the Zoom on Tuesday make sense to you? Do you have any suggestions for the 8th-grade teachers on finding the theme during distance learning? Do you have any questions for the 8th-grade teachers?

I think God spoke pretty clearly to me his week because it just made sense for or school. The zoom did not make a lot of sense because there was a lot going on. I don’t really have any suggestions for the 8th grade teachers or any questions.

 

2. Describe one gift or talent that you have that you could use to lead ZCS next year? Where and when could that gift be used at ZCS? For example, you might say that you like to organize so you could help Mr. Commeret organize the Lost and Found. You would do this by…

I don’t really know of any talents or gifts that i could use to lead ZCS. I could help with any things that need to be cleaned up or anything like that. I guess i could be a leader by trying to be a good example and being kind to others and helping people.

 

3. Listen to these songs and connect the song to “Listening to God” or this week’s search for a theme. What phrase stuck out to you? Why?

I chose the song ‘Word of God speak”. A phrase that stuck out to me was when he said ” The last thing I need is to be heard but to hear what you would say.” That phrase stuck out to me because it kind of gives us a mindset that we should have when we talk or do anything because we need to listen to God first instead of thinking about ourselves and stuff like that.
