A relationship is like a plant it needs to be watered, fed and nurtured. A relationship needs common values, time and communication. My relationship with God is based mainly on trust, love and respect. In my opinion I believe that each and every day God influences my life in many different shapes and forms. Some might say there is no God but I don't believe it one bit because each and every day of my life since I was a child I continue to succeed whether it be in school, extra-curricular activity or just an everyday duty and one can't accomplish this all on their own. I believe that God has always looked down on me and helped me each day and every step of the way, without him I don't know how I could have done it these past eighteen years of my life. He has opened my eyes to see the true beauties that life has to bring such as family, love, friendships, being alive or living as a human being, and the list is continuous of all the things that God has given me and each every day I'm so thankful for everything in my life. In my life I consider family and friendship very personal especially my family considering that these are the people who since I was a child taught me how to grow up the right way and raised me to follow my faith and always thank God for all that he has done for us. Friendship is considered to be one of the most precious things that life has to offer and I believe that my friends are like my family and I always put my friends and family before anything that might occur in life. My family and friends have shaped me to become the individual that I am today and I don't know what I would do without them. I always keep my relationship with God close to me because I grew up in a Catholic family who takes our Catholic morals very serious and they had me attend mass as a child till present day even.
Some ways I nurtured my relationship with God was when I was in my junior year and I joined the

    Living a life like this for years brought me to notice I didn’t even have a firm relationship with God, but a relationship where I came to him when I needed him. We cannot just take for granted God’s grace because his grace was paid with a price, his only son died for our sins and he didn’t need or want anything in return. When you open your eyes to what he really did for us and how big his grace and love is you will start walking a life knowing God’s grace was paid with a precious…

    Each and every one of us, whether it is strong or weak, has some type of relationship with the body of Christ. This is because each one of us has some type of relationship with God. What is very important is to make that relationship stronger. God created each and every one of us in his image. God has a plan for each and every one of us. No matter what, God is always there for us until the end of time, so we do not want to disappoint him. Some ways in which we can strengthen our relationship with God are to go to Church every Sunday, "talk" with him more often. I know myself, that it isn 't always easy to find time to fit God into our busy schedules. For me, I go to the youth group at my church as often as I can and every night right before I fall to sleep, I pray to God, thanking him for the things that I have and asking for guidance. Even though God doesn 't talk back to us in words per say, he talks back to us through things that he does. Remember, actions speak louder than words. If we pray and believe that we are a good person, but go out and murder people, which speaks louder, the praying, or…

    Persuasion is something that we deal with every day; maybe without even realizing it.. We are persuaded daily to choose this over that or that over this. Persuasion is a method of influence that attempts to change a person’s beliefs, feelings, or behaviors. In other words persuasion attempts to change attitudes by attacking one or more of the tri-components of attitude, affect, cognitions, and behavior. This tools power is often underestimated by individuals. In order to get a better look at how we must take a more extensive look on how the social psychology of persuasion can be used in the who (characteristics of the Persuader), what (characteristics of the Message) and to whom (characteristics of the Audience) (Feenstra,2011).…

    What Is My Identity

    Being a friend means to others influences the things I do and the way that I behave. Being around my friends shapes my identity just as much as my family does, possibly to an even greater extent. As I have aged, I have found that not all friendships can endure the test of longevity, and that I would much rather have friendships with people who are as goal oriented and driven as myself. All of my friends are ambitious, and they motivate me with their kind acts and words of encouragement. They motivate me to strive for more inordinate goals, because I see them venturing towards greatness, so it makes me know that I can as well. Everyday I grow as an individual, I become more aware an educated and I will continue to become more enlightened until the day that I no longer exist. My older sister always told me, "your friends are the family you're able to choose, so might as well choose them…
