Do you think we are shaped by our experiences more than who we are?

Do you think we are shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?  Honestly as long as I have God and Jesus Christ in my life I know that I can overcome all things that are very difficult for me.   To answer this question I want to inform everyone that my experiences differ from who I am as a person because I am solely responsible for taking risks throughout my life .  My personal experiences consisted of accomplishments early on because I graduated from the University of Toledo twice as well as working in the community as a productive member of society .  I had jobs during the 1990s working with street gang members for three consecutive years as a youth counselor in the Toledo Ohio Lucas County Area .  I am responsible for working inside of college and university libraries for 12 years.  I really prefer working inside of a library because it is one of the most peaceful jobs that I have ever worked at in my entire life.   Also I am responsible ...

IF YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE AN ANIMAL FOR A WEEK WHAT WOULD YOU BE

If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why? Honestly, I would be an eagle because if I wanted to go anywhere on planet Earth, I wouldn't have to save any money from a humanistic perspective because I would have wings to fl y.  I would only have to have the energy to fly anywhere I want to go. The only two eagles that I would be are an American Bald Eagle and a Crown Eagle, which is the world's largest eagle .  Both of these eagles have the ability to kill serpents and catch fish.  An eagle has the ability to see things from a great distance 🙌 👌 👏 👍 .  At least all birds of this magnitude are very healthy .  Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability.   

What is something that will happen in 20 years from now?

What is a piece of technology you are convinced that will exist in 20 years?  The android and I phones will become a whole lot more advanced than usual.  Whereas there would be a Holy Bible that will become more advanced than usual a s well. Apps would become more advanced as well in the future .  If the Lords will, everything will become more modernized, and it will cost a whole lot more to purchase a new phone in the future. Hopefully, Jesus Christ will come back to earth and restore harmony throughout all of the nations of the worl d.  There would be a new heaven and a brand new earth during that time. At least all of our worries will become a thing of the past.  If the Lords will, I will live to see it with my own eyes .  I have to literally prepare for something like this by making simple changes in my own personal behavior.  I am hopeful that this will become a reality within a 20 year period.  Thank you for allowing me to answer this que...

WHICH BOOK HAVE YOU READ MORE THAN ANY OTHER BOOK

Which book have you read more than any other?  The Holy Bible is the book that I have read more than any other book because this book provides me with the information that I need to improve my life completely.  God and Jesus Christ have already been written in advance so that everyone who reads it will give me the guidance and direction that I will always need to live and have a better way of life 🙏 ❤️ .  Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability.  The Holy Bible is my favorite book forever. Always pray and ask God and Jesus Christ to talk to you while you are reading this magnificent book in advance .  Ask God and Jesus Christ to talk to you and allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life in advance.  Amen and Amen ❤️ 🙏 🙌 👏.  

Are you a lifelong learner?

Are you a lifelong learner? Yes, I am a lifelong learner because things are always changing in order to meet societal demands .  According to Romans 12:2 says Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.  This means that I have to always figure out whether or not what is acceptable according to God’s perfect will. I do know that Satan can talk inside of your head just by distracting believers of God and Jesus Christ by making suggestions because he knows exactly what we desire just like God and Jesus Christ. I just know that I have to always stay in prayer all of the time.  I just know that for me personally I still have a lot of personal flaws in my life right now.  I have to always counter Satan with God's word all of the time.  I do have to stop this influence by asking God whether or not is he saying this to me or...

WHAT IS A HABIT THAT HAS IMPROVED YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW?

What is one habit that has improved your life the most?  One of my favorite habits that have improved my life right now is my ability to rely on God and Jesus Christ when I really need them the most.   Even though I might be making mistakes along the way, but when I need immediate help they are always around.   I am depending on God and Jesus Christ for my help all of the time.   I want to inform all of you that I am going through medication 💊 withdrawal symptoms as well as a complete medication crash simply because I was taking medication from two different pharmacies simultaneously throughout a 6 month period .  Therefore I am in need of 24 consecutive hours of care each day while I am housed inside of an assisted living facility at this current moment.   My  sense of awareness and direction has improved 👏 considerably during my time at a care facility. God and Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌 are doing for me more than I am doing for myself.  The Cott...
