REFLECTION IN “FACING THE GIANTS”

Facing the giants is a great and wonderful movie. When I first heard the title of the story, something comes into my mind. I think it is all about facing the struggle and hard problems that will encountered in our life. As I watched the movie, I found out is all about Shiloh Christian Academy football coach Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick) always fail to win a high school football championship. Made worse by the decision of their star player to transfer into their rival school the next year. Their first three games of the new season didn't show any improvement, and his trouble with his wife and their house is starting to make him lose his faith. His football players' fathers, blame the lose of the school's football game to him, they believed that these results show that he is not competent enough to make this team win the season. Sooner he realized, that not just only admitting your defeat is the only way, but devoting your life to God and having faith to Him make things easier. With nothing to lose, coach encouraged his underdog team for the last time, that with faith, there is nothing you can't achieve including the winning of a football season even when all hope seems to be lost.

In any problems and challenges in our lives, we know that it is impossible to surpass, that’s why the only way is to believe and have faith in God because WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSIBBLE! He is making a way for us to fulfill success and guide all the trials that we’re encountered. Facing the giants is also a lesson for everyone to learn from trusting God when you feel like your situation is hopeless to honoring your parents.

    New York Giants Research Paper

    The New York Giants are a professional football team, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Giants have been around since 1925, and have become a well-known organization and one that other teams look to emulate. The Giants play their home games at MetLife Stadium which was just built in 2010. The Giants are a part of my life, everyday conversation, looking up breaking news, who they are interested in taking in this year’s draft. It’s something I can share with my Dad, a fellow Giants fan, and many of my close friends. This team keeps us talking for hours as if we were on the field or in the locker room with them. There’s nothing better than waiting around all week to watch this team play on Sunday’s.…

    Comparing Adversity In 'The Proof Of Worth And Unbroken'

    Adversity can bring out the positive and negative sides in a person. In “The Proof of Worth,” Edgar Albert Guest demonstrates how challenges in life can help someone understand what he or she is capable of during a hardship. Similarly, “The Importance of Adversity in Growth and Development” written by Patrick Kohan exemplifies how children will never learn how to conquer an obstacle if they are always given assistance. Furthermore, Laura Hillenbrand’s novel, Unbroken, indicates that experiencing problems can affect the way a person’s body reacts and thinks about a difficult moment. Ultimately, the authors highlight that obstacles can be a complex or helpful task, as well as benefit people in the future when they need to know their true talents.…

    Have you ever faced adversity? Adversity is everywhere in life but you can overcome it. Life has all sorts of hard spots but if you keep trying you will get out of those ruts of life. there is many different types of adversity such as trying and trying but failing at something over in over but you have to keep trying according to "The man in the arena" Theodore Roosevelt "who strives valiantly; who errs, who does actually strive to do good deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotion;who spend himself worthy of cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievements , and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" another example is in the poem by Langston Hughes mother to son "life for me ain't been no crystal stair its had tacks in it,and splinters,and boards torn up,and places with no carpet on the floor,bare. But all the time ,i'se been climbin' on....." you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul according to William Ernest Henley in the poem…

    What Is Diversity In America

    What Is Diversity In America

    Webster’s dictionary defines diversity as, “the condition of being different: variety.” The United States of America is very diverse. We have had some influential people that have helped steer us in the ways that we know diversity today. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was very influential in changing the way many white Americans looked at African- Americans during the 1960’s. Long before Dr. King marched on Selma, Alabama and gave his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., Abraham Lincoln tried to change the culture of America by freeing the slaves in 1865 with the Emancipation Proclamation. However, one hundred years later, African-Americans still did not have the same rights as white Americans. They could not ride in the front of the bus, enter the same door of a restaurant, drink from the same water fountain, or attend the same schools as whites. Because of Dr. King’s determination and leadership, the culture of America began to change. In 2008, we saw the greatest example of this change with the election of the first African-American President of the United States, Barack Obama.…
