Week 3 Essay

          This week in history I learned about the fall of Rome and the Early Church and its Fathers. During my study of the early church, I learned about creeds, such as The Apostle’s Creed, explaining what they believe and what they think everyone should believe about God. For my essay assignment this week, I am required to write my own creed.

          A creed is a writing, or in some cases, a debate about what you personally believe in, and how you should live that way. In other words, a creed can tell who you are, who you want to be, and how your beliefs can get you there. This being said, here is my creed about what I believe, who I think I am, and who I want to be. I split it into two parts, what I believe about God, and what I believe about myself.

          I always love and believe in God and Jesus, and They always love me. He made everything, including me with intention, reason, and love. I can and do trust Him, and He will never leave me or let me down. He always brings hope into my life, even if I think I don’t need it. He is with me and my wonderful, smart, and loving family that He made for me. I try my best to obey Him, but He is always forgiving and merciful no matter what. He is always helping me and right beside me, pushing me on. He knows I can do anything, and He brings opportunities into our lives to be the best person each of us can be every day. I am strong and healthy, and for a reason. I am a leader, whom people will follow and I can help them be the best they can be. I am talented, which will get me far in life and help shape who I am. I have a purpose, and I won’t let anything stop me. I can and will make an impact in someone else’s life. I am a good person, who wants the best for myself and other people. I am smart, but I still want and need to learn more. I am my own person, and I want to fit in by being myself, not someone else that I am not I am a winner, but I am proud of myself and will be fine if I lose. I want to be all this and so much more.

          Anyone can do so much in their lives and can believe in so many different things. A creed is a great way to write it down and look at your thoughts and/or goals. I will try to be all that I can be always, and God can help me there. This was a very exciting and helpful assignment. Showing me who I am, and who I want to be, and how I will work to get there.
