Mount Moriah, Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac
God advances his mission by putting Abraham to a test, to see if he would follow God's commands. This time, God tells Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, which was pretty big. Abraham still stayed loyal to God and was about to kill Isaac, but an angel appeared and stopped him. After that, God blessed Abraham further by greatly increasing his nation, because Abraham obeyed God. -

Hong Kong, Buying gaming mouse
I was going to buy a gaming mouse that costed 500 HKD, because of its great features, so I told my mom I was going out to hang out with Enoch Ngan. I sneaked into my room and took $100, but my mom caught me. I explained to her that I was short of money and I was actually going to buy something and not just hang out with my friends. I could relate to Genesis 27 because Jacob tricked Isaac to getting his blessing, while I tricked my mom to getting the gaming mouse in which I got to keep.
