Personal Narrative: The Day I Got Baptized
The Day I got Baptized
The Day I got baptized was a cold sunday morning in December. I woke up like any other Sunday morning for church but today for the first time in 20 years my grandpa went to church with us; also one of our family friends, Richard Brewer went with us. Richard really wanted to be with us when we got baptized. When we showed up to church; which is First Baptist Church I was very excited because today I was getting baptized today. We made sure to find Richard then went into church. Then we walked into church. While church was going on I walked up the stairs, there's a bathroom up there were I changed into my baptismal gown. After I changed my youth leader, preacher and me all said a prayer. After that I walked up to the

    Personal Narrative: South Knollwood Baptist Church

    The greatest asset to my life growing up besides my family were the churches that my family attended. Although we have moved several times due to my father being stationed in various locations with the military, the Baptist churches we have been a part of have been a stable place for me. Currently, I have the privilege of calling South Knollwood Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas my home church. South Knollwood is under the leadership of Pastor Jeremiah Metsinger, a third generation preacher.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience At All Saints Catholic Church

    This morning I attended a weekday mass at All Saints Catholic Church. The church itself is relatively large from what I saw. The exterior had many well-tended trees and bushes, with a sign pointing to the office, and a cross about six feet tall out front by a cement walkway which led to the entrance. The building itself was a taupe color with dark brown roofing and glass doors leading at the entrance. As I walked through the glass doors I was not greeted by anyone, so I followed what everyone else was doing. I noticed a holy water font in front of the doors leading directly to the room of worship. I watched as the casually-dressed Parishioners, all aged at least sixty-five years, and mostly white, middle-class women dipped their fingers into the font and then made the sign of the cross, before entering the worship area.…

    Campus Outreach: Project Galveston

    Why did I get baptized? The answer to that was simple; everyone else in my family were already Christian so I might as well follow their lead. I lived for six years after that not knowing the true meaning behind being a Christian. I was constantly angry and hurt and heart-broken and filled with lust and the list goes on... and on… I was poor but God provided; I was weak but God made me strong; I was broken but God mended my broken pieces, and through all this, I knew it had to be God because I could not make it through those rough,…

    Personal Narrative: My Visit To Christianity

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    Personal Narrative: The Big Day

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    Personal Narrative: My Mormon Life

    I didn't fit in well as a child. I was diagnosed with adhd before I can remember. So my learning disability had been stealing confidence from me bit by bit my whole life. My husband makes me confidant. It's easier now. Until I moved in with his Mormon parents. I'm not going to lie I really just wanted them want them to like me. I am not Mormon I'm not religious at all actually. I am agnostic so I don't think entirely that the Mormon religion is wrong. I just don't know. My whole life for some reason I just thought that all people were the same in the way of not not liking people or judging them until you know them no matter there life style. At least that's how I am and in the back of my head I know that wasn't true but I just felt that way with people I knew.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life Changing Experiences

    “WHOA WHOA WHOA THIS IS BALONEY MAN!” that is something I say whenever I am frustrated. People have always told me sometimes the best way to learn something is through failure. People value things they have accomplished differently. Often the people whom are naturally adept at things do not realize how much of a struggle it can be for others. Many times when people have told me that if you are going to fall, fall forward. Do not let your insecurities, doubts, and pride get in the way of improving yourself. In brief, there can always be a way to improve yourself.…

    My Faith Journey

    My faith journey has always been about growing in faith in order to assist others in the communities, countries or anywhere God’s desire will lead me to make a different in people lives. It has always been my goal or dream growing up in Liberia (West Africa) to work in the kingdom of God in order to convey the word of God to his people that are still in darkness. However, like I mentioned earlier, I was eager as a little boy to attend church with my uncle because he was the only family member that was attending church as well as a deacon of the church but my parents couldn’t allowed me to attend church with my uncle because Christianity was considered a (taboo). My uncle was from my mother side of the family and because of his faith in Christ; his entire household was treated or considered as outcast in the community. In any event, I moved into my uncle's house in order to be able to attend church with him and his family. After a while, the new reached my parents that I had been attending church with my uncle because my parents were living on the far. I vividly remembered this particular evening when my mother came from the farm and noticed that I was not at my house and I had been staying at my uncle house, she proceeded to my uncle’s house. Upon her arrival, we were sitting in group studying a bible and she went and took her seat calmly in one of the dining room chairs. At that point I knew something bad was going to occur so I went to my uncle at the end of our bible study and informed him not to allow me to go with my mother because she's going to something that I will regret because my mother was against of her children attending church. After having the conversation with my uncle, I heard my mother calling my uncle and informed him that she would like for she and I to leave at once because she was having lots of works on the farm that she needed assisting with and my uncle didn't have any…
