Serving On Our Own Essay

We conveniently forget what we know so that we can make up an excuse to not obey God's love, laws, and living arrangements. While walking the path of confusion, we cling to secret lies of deception to deliver our personal message of hidden agendas, greed, lust, and pride. God can see that we know the truth, yet we pretend to be ignorant. You know better. Your access is off-line. This shouldn't be a revelation to you.

The place I chose to volunteer 5 hours of my time to was to my husbands business. I was asked to volunteer 5 hours of my time to an organization or to a place of business where I can gain experience, or have something to put on my resume. I chose to volunteer my time with my husband for two reasons 1 is hes been begging me for a really long time but I haven’t because he wakes up at 1:30am and doesn’t get home till 11am. 2 because I figured it would be a great opportunity for me to see what he does and to volunteer my time for this project.

It was a bright, sunny morning in the Philippines. I woke to the sound of birds chirping and the quiet chatter of my fellow soldiers who had begun to prepare for the long day ahead of us. I rubbed my groggy eyes, attempting to relieve the constant effects of insomnia and to force myself to get moving. Sleep for a soldier was a highly revered pleasure, but when it came, it didn’t come in abundant amounts and it often left us feeling even more tired than we were before. Nevertheless, I had a country to defend and duties to fulfill. This was one of the many sacrifices of an American soldier – a position which I served with absolute honor and pride.

Looking in a dictionary, service can be defined as “the action of helping or doing work for someone”. Before an eye-opening experience at a certain nursing home, I would have agreed with this definition without much thought. Now, I know that service is not only limited to laboring for someone, but much more. The type of service I would identify to be the most valuable is delivering joy to a complete stranger, family or friend. Last year, when I began playing piano for residents in the Alzheimer's unit in a nursing home, I discovered how I could truly brighten someone’s day by a talent I always took for granted.

First, and practically, I would remind Josh spiritual disciplines are still disciplines – meaning they are, at times and in the moment, neither thrilling nor invigorating, but they will, upon Christ, produce great riches. Hebrews 12:11 reminds us, “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”

“Love and relationality define the deep reality in which we live, and Christians have traditionally affirmed that these creational values of love and relationality derive from the character of the Creator.” (Gracious Christianity 44)

I think that I would be a great fit for San Francisco University because of its prowess as a school that cares about the community, great pre-med program and relatively small class sizes. The fact that USF has been recognized in the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll is extremely impressive. I would love to be a part of such a caring community and help contribute to the tradition of service. Furthermore, the great medical program matches my own academic interests because I hope to pursue a career in medicine. Lastly the small class sizes of about 20 to 30 is perfect for a learning environment. Most of the classes I take right now currently have about 20 students in them and I find it incredibly useful to be able to talk

I believe that I have the skills, experience, and knowledge necessary to make a good Junior Volunteer. I have experience caring for various types of animals. I've cared for my own pets, including dogs, cats, fish, mice, and gerbils, and I've also watched my friend's rats and my neighbor's cats while they were on vacation. Since my dogs and cats are family pets, I assume partial responsibility for them. This includes feeding, walking, and playing with them, and also cleaning up after them (for example, cleaning litter boxes). I also have been responsible for giving them medications in the past. In the case of my gerbils and former mouse, I have full responsibility. This means that I must clean the cage, feed and water them, play with them, and do all other tasks required to keep

The Bible is clear that we are to be in obedience with God, it is so important that Jeremiah tells us that we should obey God whether it is good or bad (Jeremiah 42:6 NRSV).It is in my understanding as a Christian that we are to live in obedience

2 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favouritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

After lunch, drive to the Xing’an Forest Park of Yichun (about 30 kilometers, about 40-minute drive). Located in the South Mountain, it is the first park with forest landscape in Yichun. The primary vegetation form in the park is the mixed coniferous broad-leaved forest. It boasts rich animal and plant resources, including over 40 rare tree species such as red pine, spruce, fir, yellow pineapple and ash, and over 20 kinds of wild animals. A rotating sightseeing tower is built in the mountain peak for people to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

I am reviewing the book Super Service, by Jeff and Valerie Gee. I was initially attracted to this book due to the subtitle, “Seven keys to delivering great customer service… Even when you don’t feel like it! … Even when they don’t deserve it!” The book promises to bring a new upbeat approach to serving customers on the front line and to make this job more meaningful to those who do.

Submission is not blind agreement. But I do refer to another verse in this passage. Ephesians 5:33 -

I want to leave the passages above for whatever it implies to be a personal thing between you and the Lord. Last night, I asked God to give me a word and weave this together but the Lord was silent. As I was finalizing this article, the

20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another--
