Beowulf

God helps Beowulf. Maybe not "punch by punch" in the fight but God has given him the courage, intelligence and strength to overcome Grendall. God determines what happens to us as well-he arranged the world and obstacles in such a way that we will have to make decisions that in a way makes our own fate. God is always there looking on and because we are not his puppets we determine our outcomes by what we invest in our actions. For example, in a sports game, you win because of the skill and effort you put into winning. God does not just decide who is going to win based on his favorite team. He does however, give the teams the natural skills they have and the determination that drives them to win. We as people are saved and helped by our initiative. Those who have a strong initiative and strive to achieve things, God will help. He is more willing to open doors for those people, as He likes to see people succeed. God will still help someone who sits around and takes no action but He can help them more effectively if they do work for what they want. This goes along with the phrase "God helps those who help themselves." This doesn't of course mean that God won’t help those people who do sit around and beg for others to work for them. God helps everyone; it may just be more prominent in the lives of those who work for their outcomes.

         It is not fate that someone finds a $100 bill on the ground or that someone gets in a car crash; it is being in the right place at the right/wrong time. Your initiative is what got you to that place, not fate. God planned for you to be in whatever place you are in at whatever time for a reason. Its not karma or really even luck, everything is planned. Sometimes this idea is hard to clench but it is the way God created His world to Work. God is the ultimate ruler, and He gives His people His gifts to carry out His ultimate plans.

Myers-Briggs Test

According to the Myers-Briggs test, I am an ISTJ. My results were that I am 11% introverted, 12% sensing, 50% thinking, and 33% judging. Some aspects of my results were fairly accurate, some of the things they said were more extreme than what I feel I am though. Also, for some reason I felt like the second analysis of what my personality was fit me better than the first one. I felt especially like I was this type when one article mentioned that I am easily frustrated when other people do not follow through with their commitments or promises and when it said that my personality type usually keep their feelings to themselves. The careers the test suggested for me were fairly broad jobs that I do not see myself going into. Overall, the test was very interesting and i enjoyed seeing and learning about my results and how they compared to me. 

Mere Christianity- first two paragraphs

Every Person Created with a Purpose

            God, unlike any other living being has everything planned out, thousands of years before it occurs.  He has a plan for now, yesterday and the future to come. God has laid out the lives for every organism and knows what they are going to do before they know they have the option. God knows when everyone is going to die as well, and He also knows exactly which of all living things are going to choose His kingdom. If God has indeed predestined all people, meaning out of all the people He creates He chooses a select few to know and love Him.  If those who are His chosen people live for Him, then all other people He creates would seem to be pointless because they show Him no love, and do not believe He does exist.

One heavily debated over issue for those who favor predestination and for those who do not is why God created certain people to, in His eyes, do nothing. Many people wonder why He would create certain people to live their lives only following sin and show Him no love. Among Christianity, a major question poses, if humans are predestined to salvation by God, why does God not predestine all people to be His followers?
