Session 1 Reflection

The choice to attend Colorado Christian University (CCU) has been a huge mental debate

for me. In high school I was always very into business classes, the why and how a business

functions, which lead to me earning my Associates Degree in business in August 2007 from

Lamar Community College (LCC). I unfortunately have not had the opportunity to put that

degree to much use. This lead me to the debate of a career change. With the influence of teaching

children’s church I have decided to go back to college and earn a Early Childhood Education

degree to hopefully teach preschool.

While attending LCC I found myself drifting from my faith, I was no longer attending

church every Sunday and when I did go I found my mind drifting during the message. …show more content…

Their biggest fears were (a) was this too much for me to handle at this point

in my life and (b) me moving away from home. After explaining that I have 100% faith that God

will get me through this no matter how many obstacles jump out at me, and I can start out online

and work my way up to moving in a couple years, they became more ok with the idea. My

friends on the other hand have been a different story; I have chosen to keep my new journey a

secret from most of them. The few close friends I have told are very supportive and encouraging

to my success.

Having all those closest to me in support of my decision has been amazing. All their

encouraging words and wisdom has been overwhelming, but at the same time is a huge part of

my driving force to succeed. I look forward to the challenges ahead of me in this new journey at

CCU. I know life isn’t always easy but that is not in God’s promise, He only promises that our

journeys will be worth the wait and struggles in the end. Knowing that God is always on my side

is such an amazing feeling and I am excited to say that my heart is once again on fire for Jesus

right along with my students

In his book, The Idea of a Christian College, Arthur Holmes explains why he believes a young Christian should seek to attend a Christian college. Holmes discusses many important aspects of Christian universities that contribute to their significance, including how faith and learning are skillfully integrated, the academic freedom, and the community experience that can be found at such a university. Perhaps one of the most important aspects, mentioned by Holmes, of a Christian college is the theological foundations found in seeking higher education. According to Holmes, the Biblical mandate for Christian involvement in higher education includes the concepts of creation, the human person, truth, and the cultural mandate.

Military Life on Families Not a lot of people know the actual challenges of what military men and women go through with their families. Until now, individuals have this misconception that the military life is as ordinary to any regular civilian life. Many of the common beliefs that people assume about military service members they just serve their country, go out to war occasionally, and handle constant deployments easily without a struggle. While this is the case, civilians fail to recognize that military spouses and children face many obstacles when they are separated from their service member.

FSH Christian Academy began from the hope of one woman to find a place that her daughter, who received a brain injury and suffered from post-concussion syndrome, could continue her senior year and graduate on time; and the desire of another woman to meet the educational needs of students on an individual basis in small classroom settings. Acquainted with the strengths of homeschooling and private education, Karen Holmes discerned God was changing her career path, but she did not know how or when God would use her. When she answered the call that the daughter of her friend needed her help, she knew immediately God was opening a door for her to launch a new approach to private Christian education. Beginning a dialogue with other parents whose children were struggling in traditional classroom settings, Karen was asked to start a school where children in unique situations could receive an exemplary education and regain their self-confidence in the classroom. FSHCA opened its doors on January 7, 2013 to

Looking back at our very first day of the core program, we sat behind a very large stack of books, excited, and yet extremely nervous about what challenges the next year of our life would hold. And indeed, there have been many challenges and obstacles: from locking ourselves in a room away from family to study and do homework, to waking up at ungodly hours to make the long drive to clinicals. We also had to add in the factors of jobs, family, marriages, children, and sickness. Overall, the struggle was definitely real! But because of the encouragement and help given to us by each of you in this room today, we were able to keep pushing, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

I am not just a teacher; I am a student. For example, in January 2017, classes began for a Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course, being held at a local Christian college. I was not taking the class for college credit or because I needed the certification for some Missions requirement. The reason I drove the 60 miles round trip, one day a week, for 14 weeks, and completed the hours of weekly readings and assignments was for personal growth and the “experience”. Simply because a college mentor, years ago, talked so highly of the course and recommended that every Christian, that has the opportunity, should take this course.
