: Go through the description and pull out 3 things that you agree with using examples in your life, and also one thing that you disagree with.

My character description is a Healer. One of the descriptions that I agree with says: They interpret their visions in the world of music, art, entertainment, or dance; and I can see myself using music as a key to a lot of my visions of the world. It is very hard for me to go without listening to any kind of music during the day, so I find myself listen to music almost every day, and most music calms me, and sooths my soul.

The second description that I agree with is that the Healer is the most sensitive to a negative environment, and they notice problems in a work group before anyone else does. I have seen this many times, whether I was working at Fareway or working at Hidden Acres. An example would be that one time I was working at Fareway and I notice my boss was getting pretty angry at something or someone, and he started yelling at everyone that was working, and I didn’t really know how to do with it, cause then everyone else was getting upset and wondering why he was mad at them to, it was just a mess.

The third description I agree with is that in order to get back to normal from a negative environment, I need to have a lot of space and need to have my feelings validated, and the negative environment be dealt with, or I need to move to a more positive one. An example of  me being in a negative environment would be, The night I was at my friends house and I happened to fall asleep, when I woke up everyone was laughing at me, and I didn’t know why, until I saw my finger nails painted, I didn’t think it was very funny, and when everyone is laughing at u, I just felt stupid, so I ran out of the house and drove away. I was very mad.

The one I disagree with is that in high school my closest friends girls. In high school my closest friends were my stuffed animals, not girls. i didn't really have a lot  of friends in high school, but of the ones that i did they were mostly guys from elementary school years. I was still to shy to talk to a lot of people in high school

Assignment # 19

What are 4 questions that you would ask Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp and why you would ask these questions. We are going to visit the camp on Thursday the Dec 16th.

1. What are some of your recruiting methods that you use to get staff to come work for the camp? This is a great question to see what new ideas or similar ideas that they for bringing in staff to come work at camp.

2. Where do you see the camp in 5 years? Any changes? Why or Why Not. I think that everyone should be thinking about this question, whether they are working for the camp or they own the camp, its a good thing to keep thinking about as you go through each year and learn new things.

3. What is the most popular activity you offer during the summer? I would like to know what the activity may be, so that maybe we could use it, or try it here at Hidden Acres.

4. How do you raise money, what kind of fundraiser do you have to meet your goals or needs. Like i said before, it is always good to find out new ideas from someone else who may own or operate a camp, to see what new things you can try. Most camps need to have fundraisers so they can build new buildings, repair old buildings, or just to raise money for bills or staff to pay.

Assigment #15

Why are you here at camp?

I am here because i needed to go out and try something new, because i wasn't sure what i was doing in college anymore, and i was unable to get a grip on what i really wanted to do. I came to camp to learn to things and to learn about things from the 8 pillars that LAUNCH teaches.

I am here to work for God , and not just myself or the camp. so that he uses me for what he wants me to do, not what i want to do, or think i should be doing.

Blog Assignment #14

Character: Who am I?
Communion: Who's am I?
Calling: Why am I here?
Community: Where do I belong?

I am a loving person who is a good listener when it comes to personal problems. I like to be here for my friends whenever they need me, night or day.I know i don't always look loving, cause i do get frustrated and mad at stuff, and hostile when certain people do certain things, just ticks me off,so there are good things and bad things about my character. If you truly knew me, then maybe you would see more of the loving caring side of me, maybe not??

I am made in God's image, and He is my father, my creator, and i have been born of this world to bring others to Christ and share the Gospel wherever i go. God has put me in this world, to continue what his disciples were doing, going from place to place sharing His Word.

I kind of talked about it a little bit, I was made by God, in his image, and i am here to spread the gospel and share his name wherever i go, and i have a good technology and music background, and i like to share pictures, music, and video of God's creation to others, and images can just take your breathe away. I am here to be a friend to my friends, to help them when they struggle and talk and listen to them when they need someone to talk to.

I belong wherever God wants me to be, I belong in worse places than i deserve, sometimes i don't even thank God for what He has giving me, I take it for granted that i grew up in a pretty nice home with a wonderful family, and there wasn't a lot of fighting amongst my parents  or family. we are all still together.
I believe I belong where God has placed me, and even if i don't like, i find ways of making it a good opportunity, and try not to complain and make it hard for others. It is really easy to just complain about something, than rather try to come up with a way to solve it. I see this in myself and a lot of other
people, and its in today's culture to be lazy, and not solve problems, but to just give up. that's why we see a lot of divorces these days.

Its also easy to say i belong in a Christian community, because i don't belong with the Non-Christians, but yet we have to live with them, or near them, and understand what they are going through or struggling with. We need to be around what they are going through as long as we know that it is wrong and don't get sucked in ourselves, but to understand how to help them, and share Christ with them in a way that they would understand.
