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. Again tonight, I am posting some of them. They are brutally honest and all are used with permission, boys in blue and girls in pink!
I am the boy who feels left out sometimes.
I am the boy who will talk fast but act slow.
I am the girl who is always the youngest in her class.I am the boy who is lot trying to find God's purpose for his life.
I am the boy who is kind to the cruel.
I am the boy who gets down on himself when he can't figure something out quickly.
