Additional Journal Entry 1

Do you truly know yourself? Answer the following questions based on your own personal
perspective.

1. Who am I?
-I am a woman with passion and I don’t want this passion to go to waste, so I always
follow what I love as long as I don’t cause harm to anybody. I do listen to the opinions and
advice of the people who are close to me but I do believe that my personal thoughts are greater than
theirs because it’s only I who knows what I truly need and love. I don’t talk that much, I don’t want to
showcase my personal things/happenings unless it is necessary. Not in a secretive way but I just
prefer not to share these things because I believe in myself that I can manage my thoughts and
feelings and sharing them to others will just make it complicated.

2. Where does man come from?

-How does man come into existence?
- I believe that God created living things including a Man as the highest kind of animal
that can organize their thoughts and they know what’s wrong and what’s right.
- I think a man came to existence because God has given him a purpose. This purpose
has a built-in battlefield where we face challenges that also shake our faith but I also believe that
God has given man challenges that will help him survive in a world where he can only depend on
himself in order for him to strengthen his fears and pursue a given purpose.

3. Does man’s life have a purpose?

a. What will happen after man’s existence?
- A purpose of a man's existence may have a positive or negative impact to the
people around him and to those who deeply know him. He may have done
things that are hard to forget. The good or the bad are both the purpose of a
man’s existence. He may be done on earth but death isn’t the end of everything.
b. Is death just a natural process where the body decomposes?
- According to science, yes it is a natural process. But according to the bible,
when death comes while our present physical bodies will decompose, our souls
will live forever, either in God’s presence or eternally separated from Him.
c. Is there such a thing as the afterlife?
- Yes, I believe there is because according to scripture, those who’ve trusted in
Christ for salvation will immediately be ushered into His presence, where they
will remain for all of eternity. Those who have rejected Him and His offer of
grace, however, will spend eternity in hell.
