Personal Worldview Essay

The three components that make up my worldview are God, knowledge and ethics

because they shape my thoughts, experiences, education and life decisions. I have

picked these three components because it is not easy to get through life without God

guiding us through our lives with our everyday decisions. The knowledge is important

because God has put us here to teach and help others and the more I know about what I

am doing and with the experience it is easier to help others. I try to follow the ethics that

he has put out there for us and it helps keep me on track to follow what is right and

wrong and to conduct myself in the appropriate way.

The first component that makes up my worldview is God. God has been with me in

spirit my whole life. I have attended Sunday school and Church for as long as I can

remember and was baptized in our Methodist Church when I was little. I also became a

member of our church when I was about 12 or 13 years old. My husband and I are both

members of the Methodist Church and were married there 20 years ago. All three of our

children have been baptized there are attending the Youth Program at the church that I

attended when I was growing up. God has been with me through all my experiences that I

have been faced with through out my life. God has been with me through all the good and

bad times of my life and has pulled me through it all. The first experience that I really

noticed that God was with us was when our youngest son was born with a heart defect

and was shipped from our local hospital to a John’s Hopkins Children’s Hospital that

could treat his heart problem. He was with us through all his surgeries which his first one

was when he was 5 days old. He pulled our son through his surgery and saw him and us

through the trying times after surgery. He is our miracle baby because he should have

never survived the normal birth. But God has showed us that he is meant

    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.…

    Every day when we wake up, we are confronted with challenges. Some of the challenges are ones that we face every day, whereas some days we face brand new ones. Whether the challenge is simply getting out of bed and getting ready or dealing with a family emergency, we all face challenges each and every day. It is how we respond to these challenges that make us who we are. We can shy away from challenges and pretend they do not exist, or we can attack them through faith knowing we are not fighting on our own.…

    Several times when I have struggled through the obstacles in my life, I prayed and God helped me through them. I was stuck in a situation a year back and God helped mw choose the right one. I got my financial aid money and after getting what I needed. I had money left over. It was to either spend it on stuff I really did not need or help my grandmother out with her finances. God helped me make the right decision and help my grandmother. As a younger woman I was always in the streets, and always going out. One particular night something kept telling me not to go and hang out with my friends. Well my friend called to ask if I was ready she would be on her way.

    My Personal Faith

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…
