The Great Controversy Making Connections

I'm reading the book "The Great Controversy"
 by Ellen G. White.er
I finished reading chapters 1-3. There was this part in chapter 1 that talked about how even though Israelites rejected God's messenger God still told them that he is merciful. I just really like the thought that even though the Israelites did a lot of terrible things, God still loves them. He still forgives them. Same goes with us non Israelites, God still loves us and still forgives us even though we always sin and we do terrible things.
   I just thought that God is very forgiving and merciful. He forgives everyone even though of all their countless sins. I wish that I could be like God in terms of being forgiving. It is sometimes hard for me to forgive someone even though of their little mistakes but God is different. No matter how sinful we are and dirty we are he still forgives us. I want to be forgiving like God.

Dahveed

      I've known the story of David my whole life. I read a lot of different versions of this story. But there's something different with "Dahveed". It's really detailed and you could feel more about the story.
      I reached the part of the book where Dahveed goes against Goliath. While I was reading that part, I thought of me in the future. Someday we will be punished tortured and killed because of our faith.  Will I be as strong and brave like David and stand courageously or not. It is really easy to say that I will because it still not happening but what if that time comes. 
   We have to spend more time with God. We have to pray and read the bible. God is bigger than any problems. He will protect us. If we'll die because of our faith, don't worry. Remember God's plan of Salvation. As the saying goes "It is better to die then live, than live than die".

DAHVEED 1

I'm reading the book Dahveed.

It's basically the story of David from the bible. David and her mother are really poor in this story, that his mother had to sold theirselves as slaves. David met Ruth. They are in the same family clan.  Ruth wants them to stay with her but again David's mother already sold theirselves. Ruth asked Jesse to buy them again.
  I was thinking if Jesse will really buy them back. Because he said he have to pay more than David and his mother were sold. But in the next pages Jesse really bought them. He was grumbling about it though.
  Dahveed and his mother can live with Ruth now. They will work for her. They will be part of the family clan now. They both can live and easy life now.

Overboard

I just finished reading "Overboard" by Elizabeth Fama.

It talks about Emily who boards an overcrowded ferry. The ferry sinks and she was surrounded by panicking people. She swims away from the people and meets Isman in a life vest. Together they  try to survive.

  In the last part of the book the both of them tries to swim towards an island, so that the boat could see them. Isman  is having a hard time swimming. He told her to just let go of him and swim to the shore. Emily didn't like the idea, but Isman told her to go to the boat then look for him. She finally agrees. At the boat, Emily told a big man about Isman then she fell asleep. When she woke up, she finds Isman laying beside her. 

   The last part where Emily sees Isman again really touched me. It's like two friends reunited again after many years. I imagined myself as Emily. I would be the happiest person in the whole world if that ever happened to me. They were reunited again and in a place where they're safe now.

A Tangle of Knots (Pure Emotion)

I just finished reading "A Tangle of Knots"

This story is really out of this world. Cady have no parents and as far as she could remember she grew up in the orphange. But one day she was adopted by a man. Neither of them knew that tCady is his real daughter. I was really touched. I cired at that part. I am really close to my dad. I'm a daddy's girl. If I was in Cady's shoes, I probably would be the happiest person in the whole world. Imagine growing up with no parents, it's so sad. Even if the person taking care of her, it's reallly different if it's your real parents taking care of you.  

Making Connections

This book is really good. There's a movie version of this book, but the book is still better. The movie got low ratings. But anyways in the book Sam the main character has to go to the clinic

to get him checked. They weigh him, measure him and do some blood tests. My grandpa also always has to go to the clinic before. My dad always goes with my grandpa. My grandpa didn't really like going to the clinic, but he has to. Grandpa had an accident before so the doctos always had to check him.

Making Connections

In this story when you reach 80 you will have to die. So basically characters in this story when they'll die. Same goes with my grandmother. She was given 5 years to live because of her cancer. But sadly she died earlier. In the story Cassia's grandfather died exactly the day he turned 80 while my grandmother died earlier. I was really sad at that time. At the last moments of her life, we each had a talk with her. We told her how much we loved her and how much sorry we are for everything bad we've done to her. In the story everyone in Cassia's family also had a small talk with her grandpa.
