Kimberly came to Touch of Healing Counseling Center as a referral from Oak Park Church. She is being considered for the position of senior pastor at Oak Park Church. The leadership team of the church requested she be evaluated for suitableness for the position of senior pastor.

The following is the outline of the Plan that the student is advised to follow as closely as possible. Each topic will address one or few specific competencies or learning outcomes. Each competency will be graded and assessed using the attached rubric.

Last May, I traveled with Alternative Breaks to New York for community service. During this service, I worked with Meals on Wheels who dedicate their time to provide food for the elderly of Manhattan. As I delivered the food to the seniors, I got a sense of fulfillment because I made them smile by providing them with food. Thus, I chose MDC’s Single Stop because I wanted to make a difference in my home campus by providing and assuring nourishment to those that do not have it just like I did in New York. As my first two years of college comes to an end, I wanted to leave a mark of my own here at home at Miami Dade College North Campus. During the month of September, I decided to partner up with a few of my peers to serve at MDC’s Single Stop.

We are like the large crowd that followed Jesus' instructions and have witnessed great acts of hospitality and overwhelming grace. When we are filled with the love of God, it overflows into the people around us and together we can all be valued, cared for, and empowered. We can find our spirituality in the mundane and methodically tasks that we perform. My hope for you is that you recognize that God is working in your life so that you may be able to use the gifts you have been given in order to inspire and guide others. Just as there was remaining food after the feeding of the large crowd, might there be an overabundance of peace, love, and hope in your

I also believe we deserve a grade of A/B because we did a great job of articulating our key points to the class in such a short time period. The groups before us had ample time to deliver their presentations so it might have seemed as though they did a better job, however, it was difficult for us because we were being rushed the entire time. Personally I believe that I could have done a better job in reading Ethan’s story to the class and explaining how Bryan’s house saved him. However, as a group we did a good job in persuading our potential

a. The one thing that I did well as an online learner was my time management and focus when working. When I was working on course work I was focus and I managed to cut out distractions. Referring back to my Reflection on Learning from unit 2, my go with the flow with… I’m not a planning person but I know how to manage my time.

In Chapter three I was introduced to the cognitive tool kit. First thing I did was looked up cognitive. I have seen and heard the term before however wanted to ensure I had the correct meaning of the word. Business Dictionary defined cognitive as psychological process involved in acquisition and understanding of knowledge, formation of beliefs, and attitudes, and decision making and problem solving. After reading the definition I came up with my own definition. Cognitive- Having the ability, skills and problem solving ability to respond intelligently as an independent and critical thinker. The cognitive capacities and values fostered by interdisciplinary studies are perspective thinking which is the ability to view a problem from an alternate viewpoint in order to gain a better understanding. The second Interdisciplinary Study capacity that involved is critical thinking. The ability to Analyze, critique and form an educated opinion is something I consider on of my strongest points. The third capacity is integration. Integration allows you to see the finish product of perspective viewing and the critical thinking process. The cognitive capacities and values are reflected in Maya Lin’s work allowed the visitor to place themselves in the solders shoes. Everything was calculated from the mirror reflected granted to the sloping. For those few moments the visitor went back in time and had an emotional attachment to the atmosphere. In Chapter four “The Rise of the

The value, history and love behind this school, how to respect one another and the campus. I have many activities and events that would help build up our Wilberforce community, also enduring the residents to bond together. From the beginning, I will create a personal bond with the residents, to ensure love, positivity, and comfort. I will be an asset to this campus by my genuine care I have for others, and encouraging others on a daily basis. With the role of being a RA, we need to strive better in communicating more with our peers. Engaging each other with different opportunities that could happen in our buildings. For example, “meet your Resident Assistant” during this time the RA’s of each floor and the residents actually have time to get to know each other. Possibly floor spa days, or girl talks every so often just to catch up with one another. More events can consisted of challenges between each floor along with rewards for participation. The past semesters we had similar ideas, although many didn’t engage themselves with the activities, which is another area RA’s can help influence. Other activities that involve everyone consist of soccer, random cookouts, and different types of obstacle courses. Wilberforce has a large space of beautiful land yet, we barely use it. The results of these kinds of event not only shows usage in the land mass, it brings

The goal is to perform an empirical study of the society’s engagement in research. Building on the theoretical basis for societal involvement, this research will pinpoint and evaluate European and US examples of participation. This empirical study will also help identify any patterns and important dimensions of societal involvement.

Next, to add yet another facet to my well-rounded student life, I have looked beyond myself to the community I am a part of. When I moved to Yokosuka, the Kinnick Community Service Club caught my eye. To serve my community, I began feeding the homeless around Yokosuka every Tuesday night with the club. Also, I participated in many Red Cross events, such as delivering Christmas cards to sailors aboard the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan. A different way I have recently found to serve my community is by working as a lifeguard.

Thursday afternoon, April 6th at 12:00, I attended International House of Prayer Atlanta (IHOP) located in Lawrenceville, Ga. There are three key components to the IHOP Atlanta Missions Base: 1) Prayer 2) Mission and 3) Community. IHOP Atlanta has a very contemporary worship space. Hence, the devotional prayer room, which in most churches would be considered their sanctuary, is the centerpiece of all that they do. Per the signage that is placed at the entrance of the prayer room, group prayer at IHOP Atlanta is facilitated by way of their corporate intercession sets which is offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. IHOP Atlanta believes this worship space of prayer ascends from one’s hearts to the throne of God. As I entered the space, I noticed

In (Matthew 6:6 NIV), Jesus explains the merits of praying to the lord God and the reward of inner peace, “But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret: and your father who sees in secret will reward you.” It is through this conversation with God that Christians pursue peace in their lives. Prayer can either be private or communal, spontaneous prayer is one way that charismatic communities can come closer to God. The act of prayer allows believers to have a personal conversation with God; it alleviates stress attributed to the monotony of everyday life. Besides prayer, meditation is another way of attaining inner peace, it is an ancient practice within the Christian tradition, which has undertaken a recent revival, a global group that reaffirms the concept of praying and meditating for inner peace is Taizé. Not as popular as prayer and meditation, Lectio Divina, generally known as bible studies is a way for Christians to feel connected to God and to finally attain inner peace. The studying of the sacred scriptures on a day to day basis and reflecting on prayers also maintain a continual connection with God. It is vital to maintain equilibrium between prayer and service, whereby an individual fathoms the notion ‘ora et labora’, in order to equally partake in both prayer, and the concept of action whereby ora develops inner peace, which is mirrored through the

My spiritual formation took a new turn when in 2013 my parents’ house was burned down in an arson. At that time, I was living with my parents. Since, the house was not insured, our local church and our acquaintances in the neighborhood helped us financially so we could rebuild our house, while a family in the neighborhood gave us shelter at their house. The love and care of the

Having been a Christian for many years I thought that I had a fair knowledge of what it meant to pray. I was amazed and humbled by the idea that through Jesus’ restorative act on the cross I am able to come into God’s presence - and not only come but be welcomed and even longed for. I believed that prayer is a powerful tool to petition God , a vehicle to praise Him , and an instrument to increase our intimacy with Him . I understood that people pray in a variety of ways, based on the teaching they have received, their experience, and even their personality. Most commonly, I engaged in prayer as a conversation with God.
