Wisdom

 For devotions, we have been learning about wisdom. Like what it is? How we can get wisdom? We have mostly reading proverbs which were written by the wisest man in the Bible King Solomon.

God is watching 👀

Integrity is an important thing to know about because it is about being truthful and you must be truthful to others. Even if the truth is embarrassing. Integrity is doing the right thing if people are watching or not because God is always watching.

Integrity builds friendships through trust. Let them know that they can trust you, that you won't gossip behind their backs you can make lots of friends.

Being truthful and doing the right thing pleases God and nothing is better than his pleasure on you.

Integrity is a good thing to have. Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching but not everyone has integrity. For devotions, we are studying people in the bible that showed this trait. The three people I am studying are: Queen Esther and Daniel. 

 Esther shows integrity

 Esther was Jewish. When her parents died he cousin Mordecai adopted her. While Jews were in exile King Xerxes’ wife, Vashti insulted him the king wanted a new wife. Then Xerxes’ wanted a new wife. Esther was then forced to go to the king’s harem (A women’s part inside a Muslim palace.) Esther was admired by all that saw her even the King admired her that is why she became the new Queen. Haman was an evil man who didn’t like Mordecai because everyone but Mordecai and the king would bow down to him making him mad. Haman made a decree that all Jews shall be slaughtered and promised to by the Kingdom a lot of money. Mordecai asked Esther to beg for the life of her people, Esther was terrified because the king didn’t know she was a Jew. Esther showed integrity by begging the King - putting her life on the line - to protect her people. In the end, she saved her people and everyone lived in unison except Haman he got impaled. 

 Daniel shows integrity

 Daniel was a man of God. Every night he would pray to the Lord, he had God’s favor and he was liked by the king. But there were two jealous men who tricked the king into making a horrible law. The order was whoever prays to anyone but the king shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Daniel showed integrity by praying to LORD even though the Lord was in place. He praised the Lord even though the law said not to. He would’ve felt so much pressure but even though he still prayed. The evil men used this against Daniel and told the king about Daniels’s prayer time. Even though the King didn’t want to throw Daniel in the lion’s den he had to - it was the law - Daniel in the lion’s den before Daniel was thrown in the King said “ May your God whom your serve faithfully rescue you” God then sent an angel to save him and the King threw the evil men into the lion’s den and the King worshiped the LORD and changed the law. 

 In conclusion, this essay is about 2 people of my choice that displayed the trait of integrity. Even though they were under immense pressure, in a life or death situation they showed integrity and did the right thing. They bring pleasure to themselves and most importantly pleasure to God.

2020 is finished 😼

 The year 2020 has come to an end and with the end of the year coming up, come reports. So here is my reflection I had to write for my report it's short but yeah. Enjoy?

Is your diet healthy?

 In class, we have been learning about a healthy diet and how to have one. We were then told to write a persuasive argument about healthy diets. The question we got asked is Eating whatever you like and how much you like leads to a happy, healthy life? We had to write our opinion and why we thought this soooooo.... HERE'S MINE!

Do you think eating whatever you like leads to a happy, healthy life? Personally, I disagree. Even though eating whatever you want may fulfill your happiness it doesn’t fulfill your health. Why do I disagree you ask? Hopefully, after this, you will think the same. My main ideas will be around portion control, eating the right nutrients, and the impact on you. Consuming too much junk food can have consequences, that's why you should always control your portion size. According to Google and a lot of p research, an average 13-year-old boy consumes around 2800 calories a day while a 13 yr old girl consumes 2400, and to burn 2000 calories you will have to run at least 18 miles to burn that off. Not being active can lead to obesity and obesity can affect you majorly. Many kids around the world suffer from obesity. It is a major problem. Not eating a decent portion of food could result in long life consequences as well. That's why you should always control your portion size and eat the right amount your body needs to live. 

 Eating the right amount of vitamins and minerals is extremely important. It affects your body's growth, height, bones, and all. Not eating the right vitamins and minerals damage your life physically and mentally. If your bones do not develop properly, bone tissue will collapse which can cause horrendous pain to the body. Which may result in surgery or worse. 

 Eating unhealthy can affect your life majorly. It can cause heart, emotional, and weight problems. Heart problems can lead to strokes which could put you in a hospital or worse that could affect your family's emotions too. You wouldn’t want that right? Having an unhealthy diet can lead to stress or depression. Which could have a high impact on your life socially you could be lonely or be teased and mocked continuously. If you're pregnant it can even affect your baby's effects such as premature birth, low birth weight, and so on. Obesity is also a result of unhealthy eating. 

 In conclusion, I believe that eating whatever you want whenever you want is very bad for the body. I have stated my three main reasons why I believe we should eat healthily and I hope you will think the same and if you have an unhealthy diet, hopefully, you will change it. Next time you buy food or groceries, think twice about what you're eating.

Kick the bucket

This is a moment in time writing. I am learning to use sophisticated punctuation I think I am at level 5. This is about an outside game that I played with some people.

 

                                      Kick the bucket

 It was the dead night, the moon was concealed behind the clouds; everyone was quiet, with their ears taking in every sound and their eyes trying to make out the shadows of the night. Everyone was focused, ready to be a show off and win the game. 

 “READY OR NOT HERE I COME!” Shrieked the seeker, everyone was ready. I crept forward, peeping around the corner to see the seeker calmly crouching in a corner observing the surroundings trying to spot the hiders, like a cat waiting for its prey. He covered the torch hiding his whereabouts. The seeker found two people creeping behind the truck, the seeker called their names and kicked the bucket the two victims, Kaine and Aden. 

 About everyone was found, I spied the seeker wandering off to find the others “NOW!” I thought to myself not knowing if I said it out loud or not. In the blink of an eye, I leapt out of my hiding place charging towards the bucket not aware of anything else. That's what the seeker must’ve thought when they saw the bucket too, the seeker charged towards the bucket. My foot swiped barely grazing the bucket then... Smack! 

I smacked into the seeker, my Dad. My shoulder was screeching in pain and so was my back. “When did grass become so hard?” I thought to myself. I grabbed an ice pack and slumped onto the couch. A sharp pain struck through my shoulder. I was finished for the night and I was even finished with walking. The seeker won and as you know he bragged... a lot.

Ring of invisibility

 In devotions, we are learning about integrity. We are thinking about what we would do if we were invisible. What would you do????

 This is an example of one of the things I am learning in maths.  It is easy once you understand what to do.
