Personal Narrative: Elijah's Power

As I finished reading the first three chapters of Courageous Faith, I found myself to be most identified with Abraham. The beginning of new things is hard and challenging, and it takes great faith and courage for a person to make a decision that can change his whole life. This was what happened with Abram. God told him to leave behind his whole world to move to Canaan. He had to face new and unfamiliar people and environment, but he believed in God and follow His will. Throughout my life, I have met with changes throughout the years. From elementary to high school, I always go to a school far away from the previous with new environment, and all the people there already know each other and are friends. Then I study abroad in the States, this

Jamal Wallis at the start is a student attending a normal normal high school and is also decent at basketball. While Jamal openly doesn’t like school he is smart and a good writer. Things take a turn for the better after he accidentally leaves his pack after a bet but Forrester drops it to him with his edited writings. Jamal also starts attending a better school due to very good test scores. He starts to befriend Forrester and slowly Jamal becomes his student. Jamal's writing is too good however and his teacher thinks he isn’t the writer. He then turns in something referencing Forrester which Forrester said never to do. Jamal then must win states so that he can keep attending but, he purposely misses two easy shots. Forrester then comes into his class and states his friendship with Jamal and Jamal is dismissed from charges and

Hey it’s me and we found Eli because he had to escape from the temple and got on a boat with us to go to Greece. We are starting to leave Egypt as fast as we can my mom is just getting Emily ready to leave. So we finally got to the boat but we have to leave as fast as possible because they are after Eli. So we are on a boat and I just found a journal and I am reading it after I am done I will tell all about the journal. I am on page 50 and so far it sounds like we have another brother that I don’t know about because in the journal it says he has a sister Mary, Emily and a brother named Eli that was a slave and mentioned all of us and how he got lost when he was five.

It was a dark, stormy night in Philadelphia. The streets were empty, and all you could hear was the sound of pouring rain. The other houses were completely dark, not a single speck of light in sight. The street lights were all broken, all but one that flicked on and off continuously. As the rain poured and thunder roared in the distance, two siblings were having a normal conversation which slowly grew into an argument. “So, I’ve been thinking about working for the King, like joining His Majesty’s army,” the older brother, Thomas, said. “I heard it was a good pay. What about you?”

“You took longer than usual. Did you take a detour? Make out with any cheerleader’s boyfriend?” Evan asked. “I heard it was you. How could you seduce such a reasonable young man and use him to satisfy your own sick needs?” Steven asked as they switched places. It suddenly dawned on her that the only ones who would create rumors about her were her own brothers and suddenly she became furious. “Why would you do that?” she screamed at them. The boys flinched, they didn’t expect her to retaliate. “Do you honestly hate me that much that you’d allow a bunch of girls to beat me up over something I didn’t do? I ran for my life because of you. I was so scared, but I had no reason to be!” Her breathing seemed to echo throughout the house as they stood in surprise to Elora’s outbreak. She couldn’t take it, she wanted to cry. She was not a toy to her evil twin brothers, she did not want to be played with and pushed around. She let them fall. She sank to her knees and cried. The boys parted as her mother came running up the stairs. She too seemed truly surprised to find her daughter crying. She ordered the boys to their room and helped Elora to her feet. She cooed sweet things in her ear and wiped her tears away. They went downstairs and prepared dinner together.

I think that is an excellent thought, Lindsey. When I first read this that is what I thought as well. Whenever Ada begins to let Susan love her, and whenever Susan starts to show more affection Ada lashes out. I think that Ada lashes out because she feels like she is not deserving of love, and she is not deserving of nice things. This just tears me up inside when a person does not feel like they are worth being loved. The amount of damage that Ada has suffered is almost irreversible now and I think Susan is starting to realize that this will not be an easy fix. I am honestly surprised at how normal Jamie is because even though he was not the one who was abused, he witnessed the abuse. I am glad that he has not lost his trust in people. This

They turned to see a figure standing in the dark. The girls could not see anything about this person. His voice was deep but sounded young and well masked by the noise of the traffic. The two were unsure if they should run or talk, he was not aggressive, but this was uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong?” She asked calmly. Raised on a farm in Minnesota she always had a confident, matter-a-fact, easy going manner about her.

It was a dark, chilly, Friday night. The air was fresh, like green grass on a farm in the morning. Outside of the bunk, buildings cracked and fell onto the deserted streets below. The dust of the buildings waft through the air compacting Simons lungs. It was just about all over. Simon stood on top of the holding his last shot. Soon he would have ended all of this corruption against the government. They were called “The Troopers. Lead by Cristiano Pullar, the most evil man alive. He had torched, bullied, lied, the local citizens of Luifio. Many lives had been lost fighting against the Troopers, including Simon's mum and dad. The only person left from his family was his 10 year old brother James. It had all started in 2065…

I flew back to Manhattan right faultlessly after the university convocation, not even showing my face or clearing up my identity with Madison.

Jets, ships, tanks, and helicopters were everywhere. Anele was scared and she knew she needed to help the government destroy the aliens. Anele climbed a tall building and fired shots at one of the aliens ships. It fell and crashed into thousands of people below. She couldn't believe what had happened and got angry with the aliens. Her fists bawled up and her eyes shot blue rays in the sky. As she turned her head and shot crystals from her hands she hit one of the government's helicopters on accident. She leaped into the air and landed on the crashing helicopter and reached in. She grabbed an officer and held onto him tight and landed safely back onto the ground. She put him down and continued firing into the air. “Are you alright?” she asked as she looked back over he shoulder, only to realize who it was. Sergeant Johnson was standing with his gun pointed at her. “You don’t want to do this.” she yelled. “I knew you were the one behind it all!” He exclaimed while he hit her to the ground. Anele flew back up and noticed a incoming laser from an alien's ship pointing right at Sergeant Johnson’s head. “Dad watch out!” yelled Jack from the distance. Anele flung herself forward grabbing Johnson by the vest. Jack rushed over to see his father when Anele landed. Johnson stood up and gave Anele a dirty look and continued on his way back to the prison. “This isn’t over, you little devil!” Anele holds her anger in and falls to her knees. [At that very moment.

When I was fifteen I gave my sister Angela a prophecy. She took that “prophecy” as an interpretation from god and held fast to it.

My journey with God started in February of 1993, when I went to a ladies’ conference in Columbus, Texas. It was while the speaker was explaining that she knew there were some of us out in the audience, who felt guilty about something they had done in their past, and they did not feel that God could forgive them for it. But then she quoted from God’s word; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, not principalities, no things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38-39 NASB) The speaker continued on to say that all we need to do is

Humans from my own point of view are God's creation, because the bible makes me understand that humans were created in God's image, and during the creation of man, God blew the breath of life into man to make him come alive. I assume the reason humans are so unique is that they were created like God. The reason why humans are the best of all creation is that they can think, invent new things, and have dominion of all other creatures on earth. Humans are the only living creation that is conscious of their own existence, because they have advanced knowledge and skills to do things, for example, humans can clothe themselves, cook their foods, and even invent numerous technologies. Humans have a well-regulated sense that is able to

Interviewing several pastors can be eye opening in that you will begin to see different character qualities, disciplines and where they are in their spiritual journey. My intention was to interview several pastors, however, I was unable to obtain the responses needed to complete a study such as that. I did get to meet with one pastor, and I believe that it was truly difficult for him to answer most of the questions even after giving him some time to think about each question. My interview was with a very intelligent and spiritual man named Les Harvey. He is currently serving at the Church of the Highlands Greystone campus under many great leaders.
