In the event that there was a major catastrophe and I was told that I could only take 3 small items with me I would chose my bible, my Ipod with all my favorite music on it, and my family picture album. I would chose the bible because in reading the word I can make it through any storm. The word will encourage, uplift,  and show you ways to make it through some of the toughest times during a major catastrophe. I also would chose my favorite music because music makes you happy and takes you to different times and places in your life. Music brings about great memories. I also stated that I would take my family picture album. I would take the album to be able to look back on happy times. Remembering good times will help you get through. 
I would explain to others how important the word of God is to me and how it can help you weather any storm and give you answers that you need in times of trouble. I would let them listen to my music explain the meanings of the songs and see how it makes them feel.  I would let them look at pictures of my family and explain the events that were taking place at the time the picutres were taken and why they were so important to hold on to. 
If I was told that I had to keep one item I would feel kind of upset but I would chose the bible and sneak a couple of family pictures in the back of it to hold on to. 
I realized through this assignment that faith, family, and music are really important in my culture. These are three elements that will help you through anything in life.
Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI think there are a lot of us who have chosen to take our Bible with us. It is so wonderful to see so many women of faith in our class. I love that you talked about music. I never thought about taking music, but I guess I would have music since my children would be with me. My youngest is always making up songs. I laughed when I saw that you too would chose your Bible but sneak some photos in.
