I feel that I do a good job of bringing joy. What I feel that I have to work on is getting less people mad.
@)My only hope is that God helps me on my journey to help others. I communicate to God my talking to myself. I ask God something, then I respond to it as if I was God myself.

I feel that God accepts my idea and that I need to continue on my journey.

In many recent signs in my life I have noticed that God is with me always. God is guiding me through some moments in life were its really hard to make the right decisions. I feel that God demands me to be a better person and when I become that better person I know God wants me realize I can always be a better me no matter what. I live up to what God expects me by me thinking before I do something. I try as best as I can do to learn from my errors. When I do the right thing I know I live up to God’s expectations of “Edgar”.
I demand too much from God. Sometimes I feel I’m that kid God sees as the annoying one who keeps on asking for intentions. I feel I should learn to say thanks and be that better person that does not forget about God and only remembers him when we have hard times in our lives. I communicate by God by praying with him although I know he is always there for us, it’s hard for me to listen to those words and doubt his listening skills. When I go through rough times and I ask God for help and I don’t seem to notice what help I get, I feel God is not there for me.

1)I think god needs me to fulfill my parents wishes by excelling in school and doing well in sports.Another thing I think he wants me to do is follow his golden rule.I feel that I am doing both of his demands but at times I feel like I don't.Right now my grades have slipped along with my attitude and I need to change that.
2)I dont feel like I demand anything from God. Except for the fact that I ask him to keep me and family safe and away from harm.I think God is responding majority of the time.
1. I think what God is demanding me to do is to be the best person i can be. Be as perfect i can be. The way he wants every human being to be. He wants me to follow his Commandments and be thankful for what i have, because there are many people out there that are less fortunate then me. I think God expects me to be the way i am right now. Although i could be more thankful for what i have. He expects alot from me. That's why i try to be the best i can be.
2. I hope God gives me all the things i need to be come the person he wants me to be. I hope God in some way can protect us more and stop all the bad things in the world. For example war. I communicate this to God by Prayer. i feel like he does respond. Because he gives me all the things i need to live day by day.
