During a time period that was present around 400 years ago, many colonists sought religious and economic freedom and decided to break away from the British government to form an independent nation. This area they inhabited is now called, the United States. In this time of great change, the colonists had to completely formulate a new government. Since one of the major motives for breaking off of Britain was for freedom of religion, it ended up becoming a good base for the building up of a new government. Religion gave many advantages to the growth of government through unifying the people, establishing power, and constructing order.

Inspired by Jesus Christ over two thousand years ago, Christianity faced several barriers along its road to prevalence in the world. During his lifetime, Jesus preached the Word of God until Roman officials felt threatened and eventually crucified him. After his death, however, Jesus’ apostles kept up his legacy and continued to preach God’s Word.
Likewise, I was taught about God before I even began attending school. My entire family, including my ancestors practiced the Christian religion. My brother is currently a Pastor at his own church that my children and I attend weekly. It’s difficult for me to change my beliefs after being raised around nothing but believers and taught that through faith, Christians know that God exists. It was interesting to learn of different reasons that others have for believing or nor believing in God.
I would say that I semi-accomplished it because I am not much more of a Christ-centered person, but I understand how I can grow to become someone who centers their life on God and his ways.

This program has given me the skills I need to adapt to new problems that I would not have anticipated the day before and to have a strong work ethic.

C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun- not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.” I have used this quote as a guide for myself throughout my journey to finding the Lord. Putting my faith into someone “intangible” and having faith in Christ has not been an easy task for me, given I was not raised in an extremely religious household. However, I was about fourteen when I discovered God’s word, felt my heart swell with happiness, and fell in love with Christ. That day changed my life entirely, and completely changed my outlook of the world.
