Who am I Essays

Who am I?

by Kate from Florida


I walk through the halls, seeing all the different cliques our culture has formed. I wonder, Who am I? Am I part of the gothic croud who finds no meaning in life? Am I a cheerleader who thinks they have more to offer than anyone else? Am I the athletic type that plays sports with the guys? I have found that I am so more than that. I am a professing believer. I am one of God's children. As I roam the world, facing challenges everyday in life, I remember that God is there no matter what. Even if that kid is being really irritating, or that cute boy doesn't like me, I know that doesn't matter. All that matters is that we are professing believers every day in life. So I no longer wonder. I know, for a fact, that I am God's child and noone can take that away!

Thank you, Kate, for sending your essay to my Who am I Essays page. You so truthfully express what every Christian teen faces in the culture in which we live today. You are so very right! All that matters is that we are professing believers every day in life. May God grow you and make you more and more like Christ. No one can take that away!

God Bless You,
Linda

Who am I?

by Lola from the United Kingdom


I am a girl. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a friend. I am a student. I am a Christian.

I sense God, every time I read the Bible, or pray, I sense God is with me. He answers my prayers, He tells me what to do. I can either choose to obey, or go with my own way.

What I desire most is to always obey. Even when its hard, I know I have to listen to that voice in the back of my head that tells me to do something else. I only hear that voice if I listen closely, if I open my heart and let God help me. He's all loving and He's always willing to help; the hard thing is to let Him, to let him have His way, and know what is better.

This is often shown in the area of purity. I love a boy, he loves me. But I also love God. Do I show my love to the boy by having sex with him, and disobey God to have my way? Or do I say "God, I want to go Your way. You have a better plan for me." It sometimes feels like the temptation is so strong, you literally have to leave the room to obey, but God promises that any temptation He puts to us will never be too hard to resist. He's right...if you ask God for help, if you give God all you have, nothing will ever be too strong to resist, and you will be at the centre of Gods will.

Give God all you have, let God have all His ways, pray, sing, rejoice in His presence, and you will find your way, you will find Gods way, you will find yourself. But if you hold onto your life, have your way, you will get your life... and loose it.

Thank you, Lola, for sending your essay to my Who am I Essays page. You do a wonderful job of expressing the great struggle we have to be obedient to the Lord, especially in a world that teaches us to live for ourselves. I love you ending - how sad, but true. Those who choose to live their life for the world will one day lose their life. May God give you the strength to continue to live for His glory.

God Bless You,
Linda

Who am I?

by Madison from Georgia


Who am I? I am a thirteen year old girl who is a Christian. I am a child of the Lord and will always be. I believe in the Lord and every thing about Him and everything He has done for us. For instance, I believe He loves each and everyone of us and that He will always be there for us. Do you believe?

Who am I? I am a girl who stays focused in Christ and His love her each and everyone of us. I will always know Him as my Lord and Savior and hope you do too.

Who am I? Am I a child of Christ? Am I the one and only? Well, yes and no. I am a child of Christ but I'm definitely not the one and only; there are many, many more! He loves each and every one of us and I hope each and every one of us know that.

Thank you, Madison, for submitting you essay to my Who am I Essays page. What a vibrant testimony of your love for the Lord. Many times we feel, as Christians, that we are the only one, but you have correctly reminded us that there are many, many more! Thanks for sharing with us!

God Bless You,
Linda

Who am I?

by Alex from Pennsylvania


Who am I? Am I a lonely forgotten child waiting for something to come save me? Or, am I a child who is found but doesn't want to be saved?.

Who am I? Am I a person walking blindly on a road of pain and suffering trying to find the right path, the path of Christ that is good?

Who am I? The question that goes through my head day and night. I keep searching for the answer. But, then I found peace in knowing that God knows who I am. And that is who I am, A Child Of God trying to follow him and doing what's right.

I find peace in that answer.

Thank you, Alex, for submitting your essay to my Who am I Essays page. I find peace in that answer as well. That really is all that matters, is it not? Thanks for sharing with us!

God Bless You,
Linda

I Am a Teen

by Jeremiah from Pennsylvania


I am a teen, and I love to play basketball.My favorite team in NBA is the Seventy-sixers.
I go to karate twice a week, to learn self discipline and how to defend myself.
I also like to read scary story books.
I go to the youth group at church on Friday evenings, to learn more about God.
I always workout and like to play with pets.
I am blessed to have a good home.

Thank you for submitting your essay to my Who am I Essays page. I really liked this essay, Jeremiah; you show that Christians are real people. We like many of the same things non-Christians do. This is important to understand because our Christianity should not be a separate entity, but is the foundation of everything we do.

God Bless You,
Linda

I Am a New Creation

by Barbie from California


2 Corinthians 5:17 (Amplified Bible)17Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Satan has no new schemes up his sleeve. He knows he is a beaten foe, so the only recourse he can think of is to pit our own flaws and failings against us to make us feel inadequate in God's plan. If he can cause us to doubt that we can be used of God than he has won a huge battle.

I love the scene in the Lion King when Simba is grown to a young adult and he is having a conversation with the Rafiki in the field. Simba is looking back at the mistakes of his past and feeling so much guilt and Rafiki smakes him on the head with his stick. Simba says, "that hurt!"

Rafiki says, "I know, but it's in the past."

Your past is just that, THE PAST. It has no hold on you. You are a new creation in Christ. Old things, lives, mistakes, hurts, pain....is in the past and is to be no more of who you are now.

Celebrate the new you in Christ, He has wonderful plans for you and all the help available for the asking.

Thank you, Barbie for submitting your essay to my Who am I Essays page. What a wonderful reminder to let the past stay in the past, and press on to the future. I am ready to celebrate!
Very nicely done,
Linda

Who Am I?

by Cortney from Pennsylvania


People often ask me Who Am I and I replyback with, I do alot of different things. I volunteer, help people, help my community, go to church, help at church, and also travel. I am a Child of God but sometimes I struggle with that. But God didn't say that we won't have trials and struggles in life. I am loved or God would not have sent his only begottenson to die for me and to bear my diseases. God has brought me out when I didn't think I would come out. I am a child of God. If it wasn't for God I don't know where I would be today.

Thank you, Cortney, for submitting your essay to my Who am I Essays page. If it was not for God, I do not know where I would be today, either.
Very nicely expressed,
Linda

Who am I?

by Jane from California


The world I live in does not have close ties to God. The people who surround me do not believe. But I find the way toget through.

I am 15 years old and at a crucial point in my life for establishing my faith in the Lord. I recently completed a confirmation program at my church which was supposed to be a spiritual journey, but I had already completed my most recentone.

Ever since I was born I've lived in a Christian family. We used to pray at dinner, go to church every Sunday, and my preschool was at my church. But when I entered Pre-K at the school I've been attending for 11 years now, the environment around me was not one that Christians ideally like to be in. By the time I reached seventh grade, nearly every single one of my friends wasatheist, agnostic, or just didn't go to church. Ever. I didn't know how to believe in God when everyone around me said that he wasn't really there, and that if I really read the Bible, I'd see how horrible this character really is.

Well, they hadn't actually read the Bible, their parents had, and had seen the terrors and struggles religion can bring. I began to doubt God. Then, I became closer to my friend Ally. She has been living with the same struggles as I have when all of our friends don't believe what we believe, and it is hard todiscover what to do. Ally has helped me through so much, because I can talk to her about God, and now I have re-established my faith. You often hear many atheists saying that they are growing up atheist in a christian world. My experience, however, has been quite the opposite. With CalTech right around thecorner telling me that all of this is science, and everyone else telling me that it doesn't make sense what I believe, all I have is faith. My advice to any Christians who are losing faith is to find someone to lean on and keep an open mind. Know what you know about God creating us, Jesus saving us, and loving our neighbors as ourselves as a backbone, but ask those who questionyou questions about why they don't believe. How do they know that there isn't a God? If they are really your friend they will respect you and not try to change your beliefs, but if you are really their friend, you must tell them that you hold these values close to your heart, and you do wish they would believe, but you respect their own values and do not force this upon them. I have even told my friends that I know that if they do not accept Jesus they will not go to heaven and I want them to believe with all of my heart, but they do have personal freedoms and I will try to make the most of my time on earth with themand hope that some day they will learn to accept. I have invited them to church and debated about God with them, but though I know that I am supposed to be evangelical, I must respect that they have their own beliefs and that God placed them in my life for a reason, and I believe that reason is to test my ownfaith.

Thank you so much, Jane, for sending this essay in to my Who am I Essays page. Teens today face seemingly insurmountable pressures, but God is faithful. Hang on to Ally! A good Christian friend is worth more than all of the jewels in the world! Keep praying for your friends; the effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much. The truth is, we are Christians growing up in an atheistic world!
God Bless You,
Linda

Grandma's Dirty Knees
by Mikki from Indiana

Grandma's porcelain skin, graced ever so softly with tiny brown speckles. Her legs are slender but strong, her knees covered with fresh earth. As she stood she gathered her blue trimmed apron together with one hand, gently, so as not to bruise the red ripe tomatoes. While in the other hand, she carried a white chipped pail of savory strawberries. With her shoulder she reached up to wipe the sweat from her forehead, catching it just before it ran down into her eyes and at the same time arching her wrist, carefully balancing the pail of berries.

I continued to play, pushing my doll carriage up and down the hill. I stopped to watch as Grandpa stood in the shade of the old gray barn, brushing a chestnut mare till it shined like a new penny. I busied myself with my baby-doll in her lavender satiny dress. My faded tin dishes, trimmed a sage green with delicate pink flowers clinked together as I washed them like grandma had taught me. And Grandma was busy herself.

She washed the small harvest she had just plucked from the vine, still warm in her hands from the hot sun. She dried her hands on her apron's skirt tail and placed a tub of water on the cook stove to heat for her daily chores.

It was getting on in the day and I felt my tummy rumble. I could hear grandma singing from the wash-house as she rhythmically scrubbed back and forth and back and forth on her old scrub board, the corners slick and shiny from so many washings. She turned grandpa's dingy clothes a bright white.

I hurried in the back door, the old gruff screen door screeched it's welcome and then slammed shut. There it was, sitting where grandma left it, waiting just for me. A fresh bowl of strawberries and cream, sweetened with a spoonful of sugar and a prayer.

It was always the biggest treat to rush in the back door to find my bowl of berries sitting on the table. And my grandma's little knees, covered with the fresh earth as she knelt to pick those strawberries. And as she knelt, she prayed. She prayed for each of her children, grandchildren, and my grandpa. She always sought out little niches of time as if it were a treasure, and never put off anything she could do today.

As the years flew by and her body became frail with age, she told me she missed being able to kneel down on her knees to pray and holding a handful of fresh warm soil in her hands. I wonder if she knows that I finally see the wisdom in such humble and simple accounts. Thank you Lord for my Grandma's dirty knees.
