Topic: BRAG (04/20/17)
I don’t want to be like everyone else.

Actually, I am not like everyone else, I am very picky and stubborn. And I am very fine with it.

It has made me the kind of person I am today. I am not going to go by the rules of this world or live by what people think, say or expect of me. I know the kind of life that I want.

I want to be clothed with the best clothes and jewelry, clothed with holiness and glory.

And put on the most expensive shoes, having peace on my feet. I want to walk in the most stylish manner, according to set rules and guidelines, in a perfectly straight-line, according to the principles of God. Someday I want to walk on gold, quite ambitious but Yes, golden streets in Heaven.

I don’t want to eat just any food, I want the King’s choicest foods, a serving of bread and wine. I want to eat the best and nutritious food on earth, that’s the word of God.

I want to sleep in the most secured shelter and on the most comfortable “bed” in the very palms of the Almighty.

I want to be friends with the high and mighty, that’s God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I want to be powerful, have power over sin and the devil. I want to be famous in the kingdom of Heaven. I want to be proud, boasting about the things of God and HIS power.

I want to be rich and wealthy in love, for the rich do not owe and I don’t want to be in debt, owing love to many. I want to be so wealthy that I give out precious pearls wherever I go, words of pearls that comforts, encourages, builds, strengthens and nourishes. I want to be wise, have wisdom from God.

I want to have an inheritance, one that will last forever, Yes, God as my inheritance.

I am in love with the most amazing One. If falling in love is crazy, then I want to be crazy for HIM. I want the love of my life to have HIS way with me, with no restrictions or objections. I want to be the woman after HIS heart, the heart of the One who loves me dearly. Because I will make HIS will my command and HIS command my goal.

My career choices are to be a server, watchman and a soldier, serving God and the people around me. I will be standing guard for my family, friends, nations and children of my Heavenly Father to intercede and to fight everyday battles against things that try to lift themselves above the truth of God.

Basically, I want to work in my Saviour’s business, HIS business of glorifying HIS Father and drawing men to HIMSELF and HIS Father. Yep, I don’t want to go out and start up for myself and be my own boss. I want to be in the family business and succumb to the rules and orders of no one but God. I don’t want to go with what everyone is doing. So, I would pick and choose, and disobey the rules of the world.

I am a Daddy’s girl. I want to tell my daddy everything and do everything HE says.

Don’t be surprised about my wants. Its who I am, and kind of runs across the family. We are pampered, picky, proud and bold.

Don’t blame us.

This is also an interesting piece. I am surprised that these three are similar in many ways. The structure of your sentences are a little awkward as read because of the abrupt "about face" in almost each sentence. The comparison thought, though, is well evident and taken to heart for the good choices made.

I liked this one too.

I liked your hook. It almost sounded arrogant, but soon was revealed that your arrogance was in God's characteristics. Good Job. It was real choppy to me because of all the "I want" throughout the writing. Try to paint pictures of those characteristics instead of just a laundry list. Lots of good things to think about and pursue. God bless.

Interesting perspective.

Try not starting every sentence with I and try varying your sentence lengths.

I love the thoughts and sentiments here. Why shouldn't we be bold in our wants--we are children of the King! I think some of your sentences could be better grouped into paragraphs. This might help the flow in the beginning. Overall, nice job! Thanks and God Bless!

Congratulations on finishing 3rd place in the Beginners category this week, Emmanuella.

Your piece really challenged me to think about all the things we can boast about when living in His word.
