I AMS

My classes recently finished studying the seven I AM statements Jesus made in the Gospel of John. If you aren't familiar with them, here they are!
I am the bread of life.
I am the true vine.
I am the good shepherd.
I am the gate for the sheep.
I am the light of the world.
I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
I gave my students the assignment of coming up with their own I AM statements which would define them. Over several nights, I will post some of them. They are brutally honest and all are used with permission, boys in blue and girls in pink!

I am a boy who is a vessel filled by living water.
I am a young man who loves his family even when they punish me.
I am the boy who has joy get snuffed out through peer pressure.
I am a son of Israel.
I am a girl who tries so hard to please people that I lose sight of pleasing God.
I am a girl who worries if her friends really like her and whether we will stay friends after high school.
I am the young man who will be a great husband.
I am what God has planned.
I am a sinner walking into the light of God.
I am a boy who does not want to die alone.
I am the catcher of my dreams.
I am a girl who is not ready.
I am a girl who is forever striving.
