Personal Narrative: My Interview With The Elderly
Peebles.Session1.Journal
It all started when I was working in the nursing home one winter day before Christmas. I have always been a child of God, went to church, taught teenagers about Christ and the things he can and will do for you. So the day I was working a little elderly woman came up to me and said “Bridgette, you should go out in the world and teach and help the less fortunate children and adults about his word.” I thought
“Wow, this woman is right, I can do so much more out there then I can being in a building all day.” The problem that I was thinking is that I love my job and working with the elderly everyday ( I have been doing this since I was 17 or 18 years old) I really didn’t know anything else in the world.

It was the only University I had seen that had a Bachelor program for Biblical Studies (which is what I was looking for) and also I had the opportunity to further my education and get my Master’s in Theology Studies or even my Master’s in
Biblical Studies.None the less I was elated on the news about this particular college. I knew God was trying to point me in the right direction that he saw fit for me to pursue myself and pursue spreading his word around the world. So I applied to Colorado Christian University.
My phone rang and the caller id said CCU and I picked it up and low and behold the lady on the other end said “Bridgette, you have been accepted to CCU!” I am pretty sure I screamed, cried and jumped around like a banshee, but I was so excited about the acceptance. God had smiled on me that day and I will never forget it.
So with this experience that I will get and have so far from this university is amazing. I will be able to teach, help and have people fall in love with the Lord like I have. Of course my goals are as listed above, getting my bachelors and then going to work on my masters. My long term goal will be helping

    In Engaging God’s World, Plantinga looks at Christian higher education and how it fits into the world. It is intended to help Christian teenagers, college students and young adults demonstrate intelligent, articulate, authentic faith. “Learning is a spiritual calling. Properly done, it attaches us to God”, says Plantinga. The chapters – “Longing and Hope”, “Creation”, “The Fall”, “Redemption”, and “Vocation In The Kingdom Of God” – articulately lay out the main themes of Christianity.…

    A jubilant hello from Alabama! I am Valerie and my most rewarding accomplishment stands about 5 foot in height, and she is 10-years of age. My greatest blessing, joyfully filled my heart at the age of nine when Jesus Christ became my Savior. When my daughter was of the age of two, I received a Bachelor degree in Elementary Education. Because God’s hand has directed me to travel a new path, I am pursuing an M.B.A. in Leadership. Frankly, I lack experience in international business, with this marking my second semester in the business program. With careful consideration, I chose Liberty University based on the university commitment to educating accompanied with a biblical perspective. Ultimately, I want a business that honors God by spreading…

    When talking about what all you need to do in order to work in this field, he said you need faith and a willing heart to work wherever needed in the church. I have also been working in the church from age twelve, and I completely agree with having to work wherever in the church. I went from working in children’s church, running the sound system at age eleven, to helping run the Jungle Gym room, ages three to five. I didn’t really want to work in the jungle gym but they really needed it, so I agreed to. Taking that position was probably the best thing for me. That’s what gave me a passion for…
