Creative Presentation

Well, I finally got my creative presentation posted on here for you to see. My creative presentations had to include different methods (such as teaching, drama, song, etc.) and since I used the method of teaching for my first presentation, I was not allowed to use it again this time. So I chose to do a video as well as write a poem about my subject matter. To view the video below, just click on the arrow and it will play.

Poem:

(Callousness Side)

We walk by without a care
who are we to stop and share
Our own agendas have dictated our day,
and to make an effort would get in our way

Why should we care
when no one else seems to either
We are better off to live for ourselves
and to not be tied down to helping anyone else

No one was there for me and I turned out just fine
and they will too in due time
I will just continue with this life
and one day will be done with all this strife.

(Sensitivity Side)

We walk by and can’t help but care
for we were created and meant to share
We might have our agendas planned for the day
but we are willing to allow God to change them for His way

We feel our eyes fill with tears
because we realize we all have similar fears
We realize this life is lived better together
and have hopes that it will one day be forever

There’s someone who says it will be just fine
and that He can be yours for a lifetime
We will continue in this life to press past all the strife
and one day will have victory in this fight

Go Conference and Week 7

Well, I am back to blogging after missing last week since I was at the Go Conference, which was all about Missions. It was another full week, but a great one too. We were challenged by John Dawson (president of YWAM), Trent Shepard, Jim Stier, and Fred Market to join God in His movement “at home” and “around the world.” The organizers of the conference made the room assignments, so I was placed with three of my classmates that are not my roommates for the week, and it was fun to be with different people for a few days. And of course, we were able to take longer showers too, so that was a plus!

This week’s teaching is about Spiritual Warfare and Dean Sherman is our speaker. Dean serves in many areas within YWAM, with one of those being part-time at YWAM Denver, so we are excited to have him here this week. He definitely has a sense of humor as well, as he threw a Frisbee at me in class today (I didn’t even tell him I was a PE teacher – and no mom I was not misbehaving!). I look forward to sharing with you what we have learned this week from Dean.

I presented my second creative presentation on Tuesday, which was on Callousness vs. Sensitivity. I did a short video and a poem, which I am hoping to share with you soon. I will definitely post the poem, but I am working on being able to post the video too.

I pray that this week God may show you more and more of His love, and that you may experience a side of His character that you maybe have not experienced in awhile.
