I had to write this paper for my school and it includes a lot of my views on life!! Enjoy!
"Servant"
The Wise One in my life has always been my TRUE, Rock and Shield. God. He has changed my life in every aspect. He is where I go in every situation that comes my way. It is amazing what God can do with every little thing.
One person in my life that has helped me in every area of my life to grow closer to God is Kristin Barber. She is an amazing example of a Christ-like role model. She dedicated all her life to helping young teenage girls to become closer to the Lord. She was my discipleship teacher when I was a pre-teen. Even though those were the only times that were scheduled she has helped me just by being herself. Kristin always made the best out of every situation. She always had the best way of solving anything. Kristin was one of the hardest working people that I know. She had so much perseverance. Kristin is always working for no one but the Lord. I hope that some day I can be the person she was to me for someone else.
Hard work. People can have various definitions for “Hard Work”. To me hard work is doing your BEST at whatever you are doing. It doesn’t matter if you are taking trash out or are the President of the United States; you need to be doing it fully for the glory of God, no one else. It says in Romans 15:17 “Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.” That is the best way to put it. I also think of the 12 disciples when I think of hard work. They did everything whole-heartedly for Jesus. I hope I can model that kind of hard work in whatever I am doing.
I didn’t think it was entirely possible for me to state what I have learned in one thought; but after prayer and a lot of thinking, here is what my Heavenly Father has shown me. Jesus Christ has taught me so many wonderful things in my life that no human could ever tell someone in an entire lifetime. It is amazing. One thing I have learned through life and the Lord is that you can’t get time back. Every little thing in life you should cherish and treasure as much as you can. That is a gift. Every little thing. Another thing that I have learned and is really important to me is that I am FREE. Free in Christ.” Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” No one or anything can harness my Salvation with Jesus. Nothing. Ever.
The one thing out of everything that I feel is really important to me is my Savior, Jesus Christ. I do not know what I would do without him. He is my all, my everything, my life, and my faith. There are some times when Satin has tried and succeeded in persuading me into doing something different then what I believe with all my heart. Crazy isn’t it. I really need to be focused on God and no one else no matter how good and satisfying it might sound. Sometimes it is really hard, but with the Lord’s help, I can do anything! (Philippians 3:16)
In life I truly want to feel totally like I know that I am doing faithfully what God wants me to do. That can be so hard when Satin wants exactly the opposite. I really want to make a difference that will change the World forever. I don’t know unerringly what that is right now, but I feel that God knows everything about my future. In Jeremiah 29:11 God puts it this way “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to PROSPER and PROTECT you, plans to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE.” I can’t wait to find out what God has in store for me. I need to keep my ears listening and my eyes seeing what he needs me to do to make that happen.
