let go and let god

Introduction and Alignment

Stress gets to all of us at times. It’s everywhere. We stress about our finances, we stress over our jobs or potential jobs, we stress over unaccomplished tasks on our to-do lists, we even stress over the little things like our Internet connection, and of course, we stress over getting our assignments completed. Things tend to come at us from all directions, each one requiring all our focus and ability. There are all sorts of things that weigh our thoughts, burdening us and build to us becoming overwhelmed.

We have all been there, when just thinking about all of the things that need to get done just seems impossible!

The thing about stress is that when it has its grip on us, we never react or perform as well as we would in a sharpened, worried-free alert state. Stress affects our emotions, physical health, pride, performance, and even our self-image. Stress attacks our body, our mind, and even our soul! Of all the detrimental things that stress does in our lives, the worst is how it affects our relationship to God.

God created time and equipped us each with special gifts to be used for His glory and for the benefit of those around us. He provides us everything we need to do the work He has called us to do. He expects us to work hard, rest from our labors, and serve others sacrificially, not simply when it is convenient. He gave us Jesus, God in human flesh, as a model of servanthood and the Holy Spirit to supply us with the power, wisdom, love, and grace we need each day to fulfill God’s plan and purpose for our lives.

Look at the passage Matthew 6:26-34. This message talks about God caring for even the smallest animals. If He looks after them, we know He will take care of us. God loves each of us, His children, even more than the animals. He will always take care of you. Take a moment and look back on your life. Isn’t this true? He has brought you to the place you are today. You have means to be in school, support people in your life, a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear.

God asks us to take a childlike attitude when it comes to trusting Him with our burdens and daily life. Remember what it was like as a child? For most of us, our parents could fix anything in our eyes. If we scraped a knee or had a boo-boo, our parent would kiss it, put a bandage on it, and it would be “all better.” God asks us to take that same attitude with Him. Let Him deal with everything. He is more than capable, and more than prepared to deal with anything that can stress us. And though sometimes it seems that He is taking His time or not dealing with it, when we look back, we can always see His guiding hands working through the problem, and always differently than we would expect Him to.

Seeing the way God takes care of the big things in our lives allows us to trust him to take care of the little things, too. This week then, let’s hand over each burden and stress—no matter what it is—as it comes and let God be God in our lives! As you make your own to-do list today or this week, ask God for wisdom to know not only what you need to do, but also how to balance everything you need to accomplish. Ask Him for the grace and patience to work diligently, not so you can check everything off your list, but rather to show the world what a great God you serve. Let your achievements be for His glory, not your own.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

  • Implement ethical, Christ-like attitudes, values, and worldview appropriate to context. (PO 1)

  • Bible

Background Information

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.Psalm 68:19

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. … So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ … But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow.”Matthew 6:26-34

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”Jeremiah 29:11

Instructions

  1. After reviewing the Introduction and Background sections for this activity, navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following discussion questions:
    1. Think back over your life course, then provide an example of how God guided you and cared for you. Knowing that He has provided with the larger burdens in your life, why is it so difficult to allow Him to be in control of the smaller day-to-day stressors in our lives?
    2. Many of us will be working in secular settings, therefore, not allowing us to openly discuss God being in control. How can we implement these concepts into our work with groups and families?
  2. Your initial post is due by the end of the fourth day of the workshop.
  3. Read and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings by the end of the workshop.
  4. Your postings should also:

1. Briefly discuss the major approaches you would recommend for sourcing. What factors should be considered in deciding which strategy to adopt?

2. If you need to change demand to bring it closer to available capacity, what methods would you use to achieve this? Briefly discuss.

midterm english 11 24 2019

PART I. Read the essay below, and answer the questions that follow.

The advantages of e-mail communication

The first thing most of us do when we get up in the morning is to turn on the computer and check for e-mail messages. This has become a part of our daily routine. We take it for granted that this has been an age-old practice and don’t pause to think that it is a product of recent technological revolution. It is a wonder how we ever survived without it. The advantages of e-mail communication are many, and the chief among them are its speed, low cost, and convenience.

Speed is the obvious advantage. Just as our planes, trains, and automobiles are moving ever faster, so are our modes of communication. We can send e- mail around the world in a matter of minutes with no more effort than it takes to press a few keys on the computer. It is this speed that has led to our calling regular mail “snail mail.”

E-Mail has also the advantage of being inexpensive. Many people have access to e-mail for free through their work or school. If some people may pay for e-mail through an online service, there is no increase in cost relative to the number of messages sent. It is the same price to send one message to one person as it is to send messages back and forth all day or to a hundred people. Finally, if we consider the costs saved in long-distance phone bills in addition to cost saved in postage, most e-mail users come out ahead.

There is no question that e-mail is convenient. It allows us to send the same message to many people at the same time with little more effort than it takes to send a message to one person. When sending multiple copies of a message, we avoid the trouble of photocopying the letter, printing out additional copies, addressing envelopes, and posting the mail. E-mail is also convenient because it lends itself to an informal style that makes composing a message relatively easy; in addition, readers of e-mail tolerate more mistakes than readers of conventional mail, and their tolerance saves us time.

E-Mail thus gives us the ability to send messages with convenience, speed and little expense. In not too distant a future, “snail mail” is likely to become obsolete, and one can already hear the bell toll for the US Postal Services.

Questions:

  1. What is the topic of the essay?
  2. What is the position taken by the writer on the topic?
  3. Does the essay have a plan of development? If so, describe the plan.
  4. Imagine you are the author of the essay. Take a reader curious to know how the essay developed through the pre-writing stage of the essay.
  5. What are the three parts of the essay?
  6. How does the essay hook the reader?
  7. What is the first supporting point? What details does the writer give in support of the point?
  8. What is the second supporting point? What details does the writer give in support of the point?
  9. What is the third supporting point? What details does the writer give in support of the point?
  10. What method of organization does the writer use to organize the material in the essay?
  11. How does the essay conclude?
  12. Why doesn’t the writer discuss the disadvantages of e-mail communication in the essay?

PART 2

As a society, we are hearing more and more about how people are not ethical and that is affecting their personal life or their business life. Your paper will define ethics and what it means to you. How do you take ethics into consideration on a daily basis?

  • Write a 2-3 page essay (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
  • Use the APA Format for citations and references.
  • Incorporate concepts, theories, and terms from the text and supplemental material.
