Mount Moriah, Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac
Mount Moriah(where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac) and Golgotha(Where Jesus was crucified) is in the same region. I believe that God advanced his mission to reflect his glory in this story by using this story in order to prophecize Jesus's death as a sacrifice. God already planned to save us by sacrificing Jesus two thousand years ago. -

Personal reflection - violin exam fail (2018)
Joseph's life wasn't easy at all, but with perseverance and wit, Joseph was able to become the 2nd in command of Egypt. Joseph's life impacted me because it taught me to persevere and have hope. Romans 5:3, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;" I have to learn from my experience and also from the life of Joseph to improve my perserverance. So I wouldn't fail my violin exams again and in other areas of my life. -
