Who Is My Hero's Journey?

Good morning brother and sister, I pray all is well with each of you as we continue this series on the children of Israel... we hope if the spirit allows us to end this series this week... When God give you instruction to do something, don’t be greedy, don’t ask tons of questions, and most of all don’t be too lazy and don’t do it...

Who Am I? I'm Malik Shaw, I've just recently in the past year made Jesus Christ my lord and savior. I can admit that it has been hard staying on the right track, but everyday I've been seeing him relay messages that help me in my daily walk in life through other people. Even though life has been hard for me I'm very fortunate. I realized in my time at Richmond Christian that a fall can humble you, but you will only change when you actually sit down, watch and totally understand that God has made a way for you. I can say that I was suppose to have been down and out for the count, but God held me up. When the devil threw his firsest punches at me. I was one day sitting in my room and a song that my favorite guitar player, pastor Johnathan dubose jr, was playing at an event and the words of the song said" I don’t believe he brought me this to leave me, nobody told me this road would be easy and I don’t believe he brought me this far

One of the most thought of and unanswered questions that we humans ponder over is, “ what is the meaning of life?” We might not know the answer to that question, but what we can do is look at our lives and the lives around us and compare it to the Hero’s Journey. Now the Hero’s Journey is an, “ all-embracing metaphor for the deep inner journey of transformation that heroes in every time and place see to share, a path that leads them through great movements of separation, descent, ordeal, and return”. Everyone has their own goals in their lives and how they want to accomplish them. Many want to go to college for extra education and study and get a degree in what they are interested for a occupation. For example, a student could have a goal one day to become a lawyer and to establish a law firm in Chicago. So in order to do so, he or she must take the time to hit the books, get good grades, and do whatever is necessary to accomplish what they set out to do. The end product of whatever happens to that student is only part of the Hero’s Journey. It’s not about the end product, for it is about the journey that the student experienced through his life time to eventually get to his goal.

Abel picked me up in the gentlest manner possible and whispered to me, "It's going to be okay. I have made you to be the strongest and most beautiful cross. Go now, and let the people see how your maker has made you!" Abel was a strange man, in his mind he thought all his crosses were his babies. For he was a lonely man with no children nor wife. His crosses were Abel's

St. Clare, through your way of life, you taught me the value of the cross and how one should look upon the crucified Christ daily. Contemplate and long to unite with Him (that is to dwell in his heart).

According to Sr. Marcia Kay3: “Cross – Yes, the Cross, but not just the Cross, but also the Crucified on the Cross! (Jesus on the Cross) Both are integral to her spirituality.”

Imagine having a couple of seconds before your house completely collapse, you only have the time to grab one item, if this ever to occur to me it would be my cross that I wear around my neck everyday. The cross I wear around my neck everyday has sentimental meaning to me, this is because my grandfather purchased it for me when I was very young, not only does it help me think of him but it helps to remember how much he does for me, and how he helps to shape my life. My cross is also of meaning to my faith, being Catholic shows how we are connected to God as one, how he guides our path, this helps me to also feel as if God is watching over me and helping me to choose the right path. Finally it helps to represent who I am as a person, it helps

What do you need to unpack at the foot of the Cross? What burdens and pain are you still carrying?

The minister delivered a message entitled " the Lord's prayer at Gethsemane." How was the Lord confronted with the cross? He came to the Father to pray. He was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Jesus also had fear towards death but he didn't run away. He prayed three times," if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Finally he obeyed God's will by absolute faith and carried the cross until the end. The Lord knew the heart of God. God had been carrying the sins of all men in this world. He believed in resurrection after the cross so, he was able conquer death. The messaged exhorted everyone to pray to

These prayers led us to do a major homework assignment, “My Vision of a Just World.” The directions were, basically, to post images and text on a poster board of what a just world looked like to us. When it was due, many of my classmates had some really interesting opinions. Some topics that were mentioned were gender equality, health care, euthanasia, gay marriage, and gun control. And, what truly amazed me was that, overall, we had the same idea. We all wanted a world that is peaceful, equal, respectful, kind, fair, and

While attending Korean reformed church, I could redefine Christian worldview based on the Bible; through this work, I saw the diversity of truth because the truth could apply everything, but one of the most significant understand would be knowing the worth of prayer. Through praying, I could confess my sin honestly, and could find my sinful nature again. The reason is that I had been trembling because of the punishment of God, so I repented my sin, but the problem was that I prayed for myself not for God even while I was confessing my sin. Nevertheless, God did not let me perish; let me understood this limitation of sinful man, and let me spiritually communicate with Him as praying. Therefore, personally, the prayer always makes me remind

The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer. -- E. M. Bounds

“Dave, God did not give you a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord” (II Timothy 1:7,9)

Prayer represents an individual’s attempt to communicate with the supernatural (Stark and Finke 2000), as well as oneself and others (Ladd and Sphilka 2002, 2006).
