Short Story: Leah In Genesis

During all of the stress and tough circumstances I found that there was so much to be thankful for. Everything around us that is good was made by the Lord and everything he has done for us is more than enough to do everything we can to serve him. I am thankful that I could see behind all of the pain and that he was working things together for our family. There is so much to be thankful for, but I feel like a lot of people have too much pride to see that. That has become my prayer for myself every morning. I bind the spirit of pride off of me every day before walking out the door, because I know if I don’t I will easily fall into sin. The reason I do this is because I love him and I don’t want to grieve his Holy Spirit whom rests inside of me. That is the whole reason for this season which is, to be thankful for what you have and not spend meaningless energy focusing on what you don’t have. There are people in this world who know God that have nothing, yet they are happier than the people who feel like they have everything. The poorest people on this earth have learned to be content with what they have. They don’t need money and stuff to be happy because

I really enjoyed reading you poem. It sounds like you have been through a lot, though you sound like you have a positive attitude which is always good. I thank the lord every day for what we have, though

The pasts few months have been a challenge, becoming a dad to my first child. Making a major move for my family and myself. Moving halfway across the country, starting a new career, and going to college too. There was so much worry and stress. I did not know if I would do good in my job or my schooling. My family and I made the decision to give it all to God. He

accept his offering for it was all that he had and did not know how to

We drove home from Memphis and began to plan a trip to New York. Kevin and I had no money. The entire year had been a terrible financial drain with no end in sight. I simply prayed and gave it to God. I was in so much pain and unable to do anything about the situation except trust God. I consumed my time listening to praise music. The music eased my physical pain and increased my spiritual strength.

Relations between Men and Women in Genesis            The relations between men and women in Genesis are characterized by deception and lies on the part of the women. Women in Genesis were originally explained as being created as men’s helpers. The women were supposed to be dependent on men and not think for themselves. God explained this by saying, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make a fitting helper for him'; (Genesis 2:18). However the women in Genesis are always using their femininity to deceive men in different ways not only to help themselves but sometimes their loved ones as well.

As I read Genesis 1-11 I find that God just spoke or commanded a thing to be to his creation and it was so. I also find that His Creation was subject His voice. Which has me pondering on the thought, How many time have God spoke to us and instead of yielding to His voice and doing what he commanded we disregard it as if He is now not speaking. And if that’s the case then I have to wonder are we even His sheep. For God sheep knows his voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.( John 10:4,5 NKJV)

I agree with Megan S. This story has a great example on how anytime (especially in times of need) you can set your heart on God and he will help you through it. I really like this story because whenever i'm in trouble, hurt, or just need someone to trust in, i can think of this story and it will remind me that God will ALWAYS be there to help me or anyone. And in your paragraph you made it really clear to see that.

Holly Kucenski, a follower of God, son of Lynne and David Kucenski, born and raised Catholic, a person who was loosing faith in God, called to change my ways, and was set apart from all the evil in the world. Divine Mercy Encounter changed my life, I then knew that I needed to change, and get people closer to God. It makes me sad when I see people losing God, when they just can't reach him. If you lose God, then you will will start losing yourself. grace and peace from God the Father to you.

Throughout our classes and discussions we have discussed the topic of true womanhood, along with women in medieval drama. Thinking of these two concepts, the question arises are they any true women in medieval plays? The multiple plays that we have read, there are many different types of women that have been discussed. These plays covered drastic differences with the way the women acted, and their actions towards the men in their lives and certain circumstances. Through four plays, there are four women that come to mind Gil, the Virgin Mary, Eve, and Noah’s wife. These women have major parts in Biblical history, along with major parts in medieval plays. The research conducted is to see if these medieval women would be considered a true woman from the 19th century standard, and if they are not know as a true woman, what have they done to show that they have not establish this title.

In Israel, a religious woman gave birth to her daughter. She and her husband loved the girl so much, and they named their daughter: Masa, and hoped that their daughter could be beautiful and smart. So they prayed to god every day. One day, a prophet came to them, and he said: “I bring the promise from the lord; he said he promises you, will give you a beautiful and smart girl.” When they heard this, they drop on their knees, and thanks for the blessing of god.

As I am preparing myself to close the doors of this chapter and open the next chapter in life, I can not help but cry at how amazing the Lord has been in my life. Through all of my struggles and disobedience, the Lord never ceased to show me His Love and Mercy.

--How many times has my life been spared by God’s grace? Last Wednesday, following a trip to Sylas and Maddie’s with a friend, I was walking on Mass Street and I realized I had been ignoring the light that signals at what time pedestrians can cross the road. I was so used to walking on the KU campus that I subconsciously assumed the vehicles would stop for me. Thankfully, I recognized my mistake before I was hit by a car. I know that this was not luck, as many would say, but the protection of God. Throughout my life, I have been in countless life-threatening situations, whether I was aware of them or not. While my mother was carrying me, she was involved in a car accident which could have seriously harmed my development. By the grace of God,

The understanding of God’s blessings has changed my life and has caused me to rise above every negative circumstance that I have faced. As the years goes by I began to reflect of God’s blessings upon my life. How much He loves me and wants to bless me, otherwise He would not have invested the life of His only Son to redeem me, and He would not have given me so many opportunities to be develop my full potential in Him. There have been times when I have go around thinking that God has been so disappointed with me, and that He doesn’t want to bless me. That’s simply not true at all. I believe that God has high hope and expectations for me and He will continue to change me as I stay in his word. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

The last few weeks have been tumultuous for me to say the least. In the midst of my "going through" I have also experienced God in ways I don 't think I could ever fully describe. What I am learning is that even in the midst of going through it 's not hard to see God 's hand at work in your life. I am also learning that even in the midst of our challenges God is with us and for that we can be thankful.
