The World is Changing

87
The World is Changing
Jan Jansen

As I am sitting here, rocking a baby, I can't help but notice how pure and innocent she is. Then I start to think about all the evil that has happened in the last few days. I just hope and pray that she never has to witness something like the Dallas shootings, Orlando Nightclub shooting or any other disaster. The United States of America is not as great as some people think it is. I honestly love my home country, but it's starting to become a place where I don't feel safe. I don't feel like I belong here.

When we say "One nation under God" I don't think we actually believe it because we definitely don't act like it. Our country needs Jesus fast. As the chaos continues, I wish that Jesus would come get us soon. I say that because He is ultimately the only one that can save us from all the evil in the world. Satan has taken over this country and world that he is slowly sucking the life out of everything. He won't stop until we, as Christians. do something about it.

The hashtag #ALLlivesmatter is the best hashtag that I have ever seen, in my opinion. That's because it's true. My life equals just as much as the homeless men and women in this world. My life is equal to the President of the United States. If Jesus can eat with the poor and the rich and love them the same, then why can't we? I really don't understand how people don't realized that. A life is a life and it can be taken away just as fast.

I don't agree with the bad cops that are in the police forces that are taking down and profiling innocent individuals. That is wrong and something needs to be done. Even if someone has a different skin color than you and you feel as though they are going to hurt you, either turn away or address the situation without violence. Violence doesn't get solved with more violence. I believe that Satan is pushing his way through the country, making people believe that the only way to survive is to kill. I'm sorry but that's not it. If you want to survive this world, call out to Jesus because he's the only one that can save us.

Our world as we know it is changing rapidly. The newest candidates for the Presidential election are either going to make or break America. I honestly don't want either candidates because I don't see how they are the best fit at this time. However, if one of them change, understand that there needs to change and will actually make the changes, then I will be more than happy to support them. Until then, I am going to pray that our leaders in our country make the right decisions on how to handle all of these situations. I pray for everyone in this country to put down the weapons and love as Christ has loved us.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
