Paul

One way that God prepared Paul for his life as a missionary is tent making. tent making was hard to do and came in handy for Paul in his life. Paul was also trained to know scripture and that was good for him because it helped him spread the word of God. one gift that God has given me that can help me in my life is my kindness because kindness can get you a long way in life. Another gift that God has given to me is my social skills I can talk to people I don´t know and have a normal conversation with them and it wont feel awkward for me.

Corona Break

One thing that has been challenging to me is I cant see my friends every day like I used to. It is also hard to get used to a new routine. one thing that is rewarding is I have a lot more time to do other things in the day. I have been able to fly my drone more. I am trying to grow in Christ even though i’m not in school.

Africa

I used to have one story about Africa and that was that everyone was in poverty but know I realize that there are different stories of Africa. I think the stories that I’m missing are the stories of people of the upper class in Africa the danger of having one story is that you could judge Africa and think that its all poverty

Films festive

I saw at the films festival that some people are amazed when they see Gods creation. I also saw a lot of Gods creation and how people are using it and I think that pretty cool. I also thought that it was cool to see how people can use there talents to teach kids.

what impacted me was walking through Gods nature and seeing what he made. I learned that some people are really crazy and the people who are jump off of surf boards that are on a zip line with a para shoot.

what I will do different now is make more time in silents and let God communicate with me. I will also be more aware about wildlife.

Themes of the old testament

Slavery and salvation

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers yet helps his family survive through the famen. Moses was born into slavery and was saved by pharaoh’s daughter, eventually he lead them out of Egypt people where going to harm others but God did not agree with them. God is unchanging and he away keeps his promises just like he did with Moses and Joseph this story makes me think about God’s promises because he always keeps them. This also makes me think of a rainbow because that is God’s way of showing that he’s never going to flood the world again

 

 

The Call

God called several people to go to the Promised land these people are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob God promised that they would become a great nation. God still calls us today by telling us to read the bible and go to church. This makes me think of a phone call because God calls us just like we call other people.

 

 

Symbol of a Lamp

God makes promises to us that his light would never go out which means that God will never stop loving us. God still loved David even know he made many mistakes. Davids line leads to God and Gods light will never go out. This makes me think of the sun because the sun never goes out even when we don’t see it.

 

Names

Elohim means Creator God and Yahweh means Relationship with God. God gives and changes names for example Saul turned into Paul. A name shows a person’s character so God used  to changes names if people change.my name Keaton means place of hawks which i’m not sure what that is supposed to mean. The picture I choose is a faces because people have different personalities
