Life with God Homework- Week 1: Self Resume

I haven't blogged in awhile and I think I need to do it more often again.  There is just so much to process and there are times when I can't verbalize it. Writing has been a great outlet for me, so here I am.

I'm taking this class at church called Life with God.  It's a class that allows those who have been in the faith for a long time to ask questions, or for those new to the faith to understand.  I've been on this spiritual journey to plant my roots if you will deeper in my faith, and to understand what it is I believe, why I need to believe it, and why I can trust it.

During this 8-week course, I will meet weekly with the larger group, and then discuss the topic in our smaller groups.  With that, we also have homework assignments which leads me to this post....week 1  homework.

This week it is based oh Phillippians 3.  We're to create an internal résumé for ourselves.  Here's what  I came up with.  I can elaborate more on these later.

Gains
Hardworking
Leader
Reliable
Influential/sociable
Easy going
Knowledgable/Intellect
Able to be impartial/unbiased
Can see long term gains than short term rewards


Vices
Easily distracted
Over commits
Emotionally dependent/doesn't like to be alone
Gullible
Materialistic


I am a Christian, but I'm not perfect.  I have my struggles and get tempted just like everyone else.  But thankfully, I believe in God that died on a cross for me, to atone for my sins.
