Familial Grace

What is a positive thing a family member has done for me?

 

Show grace despite my rebellion. In my early teen years, I was very querulous and moody toward my parents. I rebuffed them, always wanting to do things my own way. Though they disciplined me repeatedly, they also showed me grace, trying to draw me back with their kinds words and God’s grace. In the end, I shaped up, and no longer am I so rebellious.

Many thanks to my parents for being so gracious. Your love and compassion is the reason I am where I am right now.  ❀️

Stevie Lake

If I could be a character from a book or a film, who would I be? Why?

 

I would be Stevie Lake from the Saddle Club series by Bonnie Bryant. And for several reasons. One, I am kind of disorganized and messy (usually in my creative area where I work on drawings or poems). Two, I am very creative and bright and come up with a lot of strange ideas that sometimes work and sometimes backfire.Β  Three, I am very fiery and protective. I stand up for others and won’t allow anyone to hurt me or my family.

In these ways, I am a lot like Stevie. And that is who I would definitely be, for I am perfect for the role.

The Bronze Bow

 

Which book could I read over and over again?

 

The Bronze Bow, by Elizabeth Speare. It’s a perfect portrayal of Bible times in Jesus’ day and it teaches a powerful lesson of hope and forgiveness.

The story follows Daniel bar Jamin, an 18-year-old Jewish boy consumed by hatred for the Romans after witnessing his father’s crucifixion, who joins an outlaw band led by Rosh to seek vengeance. Daniel’s journey transforms from a desire for violent revenge to an understanding ofΒ love and forgiveness after he is forced to return home to care for his traumatized, demon-possessed sister, Leah, and eventually meetsΒ Jesus of Nazareth.Β Along with his friends, Joel bar Hezron and his sister Malthace (Thacia), they work together to find the answers to their questions and the cures to their problems. I highly recommend the story for anyone who hasn’t read it!

Improving My Community 🏘️

How would I improve my community?

 

I would call for trash and litter to be picked up around my hometown. I would rake the leaves and twigs out of others’ yards and off the roads. I would call for smoking, vaping, drugs, and swearing to stop. I would rescue abused, hurting children and help them. I would protest against racism and abortion. I would call for the shutdown of the LGBTQ+.

I would introduce the true God and the valid Bible to churches who don’t fully practice or teach every concept of God’s Word. I would distribute Bibles to every family in my town (and everywhere else if I get a chance!) I would open a Bible school. Write Christian books and publish them. Shout out against the evil of this world.

For We the People have personally forgotten that Jesus is King.

America is supposed to be a united nation. But it is not united at all. There are racial issues, gender issues, narcissistic issues, etc. If we are to be truly united, we must be united in a single Uniter, Jesus Christ. He brought America to life, and we have to respond to His calling to have dominion over and subdue the earth.

I will speak out if no one else will. I will be the realistic voice for the evils in the world if no one else will. And I don’t care what it costs.

Jesus is King.

He made America.

And we should contemplate and act on that.

Fight on, warriors of Christ.

God bless.

What I Believe Makes One Unique

What aspects do I think makes a person unique?

 

I think the aspects that make one unique depend on the person. For example, if you’re a doctor, your checkup methods and nature toward your patients may be unlike other doctors. If you’re an illustrator, your drawings may be different or unusual compared to others. If you’re a writer, your style and the way you make your books come to life may be uncharacteristically different than the way other writers make their books come alive. It all depends on the person.

But if I were to name some aspects about what I think makes one unique, it would be these three:

  1. Your Body
  2. Your Mind
  3. Your Life

 

Let’s start with Number One: Your Body.Β Being yourself is a key component to being extremely unique. Your personality and character traits, such as altruism, drollery, pliancy, thoughtfulness, and originality shape how you collaborate with the world and describe your distinctiveness.Β  Your values and beliefs, such as the customs, honors, and viewpoints you hold, formed by instruction and contemplation, set you apart and govern your choices. Your skills and talents, such as your essential qualities, whether esthetic, highbrow, or vocational, subsidize to your distinctive identity and how they add meaning to your surroundings.Β  Your appearance , such as visceral descriptions, from facial lineaments to characters and body jargon, make you visibly distinct. Your voice and gestures, such as speech styles, gestures, and expressions give you a distinct personality and are generally inmost markers of individualism. Your passions and interests, such as avocations, favorite books, music appreciations, and endeavors mirror intimate values and affirm further layers of individuality.

 

Now let’s go to Number Two: Your Mind. How you think and dream is essential to your uniqueness. Your perspective and thoughts, such as the way you regard and construe the world, is inveigled by experiences, affections, and consistent approach. Your poignant acumen and awareness, such as how you acknowledge, cherish, and associate with others is very particular and fashions a core part of your uniqueness.

 

Now for the final aspect of your uniqueness, Number Three: Your Life. How you live and see the universe and your environment is key to your uniqueness. Your life experiences are unique. No two people have lived the same life; personal records, tests, and accomplishments are fundamental to what make you unique. Your cultural background and heritage, such as family traditions, terminology, customs, and upbringing contribute to a person’s unique worldview and impression of ego.

 

God made each person truly unique in his or her own way. No one is better than another. How we live, think, and breathe is the way the Good Lord made us. Take care of yourself, for God uses all individuals to accomplish His plans. We are all made in the image of God our Father.

Author!

When I was five, what did I want to be when I grew up?

Author, no doubt about it! I would always write when I was that age, though my handwriting wasn’t very great at that time. My early books were, ahem, oddly fashioned and thoroughly unique. Thankfully, I’m much better at writing now, and I hope to one day publish a great book. Not for fame or money, of course (though that would be cool), but for my own delight and others’ too, as well as for the glory of God.

So use your talents wisely! God gave them to you for a reason! Use them for His glory and to love others!

God bless!
