My Supports


·         My Supports."
·         Describe factors within your daily environment that are supportive to you, including the ways in which these factors provide support. My supports for my daily environment are God, my spouse, physical factors and weather based factors and  also financial support. God provides me support because he is always there for me when humans fail me. God will never fail me. My spouse provides me companionship and support because he is there for me and provides support for the things I endeavor to do. My physical supports are food, water, and shelter. I have to have food and water in the right proportions with appropriate nutritious value to make sure that I have the strength to function and be motivated. Shelter provides me with support because it provides me  protection from the elements and privacy. If it was not for the weather whether cold or hot l would not have the opportunity to see what I can do in each type.My financial supports are from the money I receive and one of the financial supports is from my job as an Early Headstart Teacher.
·         Describe what you see as the benefits of these supports. .God provides me with the opportunity to obtain freedom spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally, As long as l let him renew me and guide me, I have the potential to be all that I can be. My husband is my support because he provides me support with many of the things that I endeavor to do. My spouse gives me the will to climb higher in my career.  He will be there for me in the decisions I make more than anyone I know. The benefits of my physical support is that food and water gives me the strength to help me all that I can be.. Sometimes I like to splurge on food to just to celebrate something or just to eat to give me a lift from something depressing. The benefits of shelter for me and my spouse  are safety and security. The benefits of the financial support is that it helps me pay my bills, pay for things that I need and want. When I get enough it  help others and finances my dreams. How difficult would it be to exist without these supports? It would be very difficult. I may cease to exist. What impact would they have on your life if they were gone? I would be depressed, suicidal, may have to re-strategize to get these supports or I may cease to exist.
·         Share the challenge you chose to imagine and the thoughts you have with regard to supports you would want and need. I am a victim of racism and sexism. My challenge is to eradicate inequality between the  races and sexes. I believe God created all humankind and all should have opportunity to pursue anything they want based on God's will and their ability. My thoughts to the supports that I want and need. I know with the challenges of racism and sexism, I can overcome the challenges of race and sex discrimination with the right support. Again, describe factors within your daily environment that would be supportive to you, including the ways in which these factors would provide support. God because he will be my guide spiritually, physically, and with decision making. True Christians because they know that God created us and loves us all. Same minded people because they know God created all people equal and will work to eradicate the injustice of racism and sexism. Describe what you see as the potential benefits of these supports.  The potential benefit of God is he can  make ways out of no ways despite injustices. Injustices will fall one day and in if you are in the kingdom of God's justice will reign forever. The potential benefits of true Christians is that they will understand that none should suffer injustice despite the circumstances. Finally, the potential benefits of same minded people are that they can empathize the injustice and understand the emotional, mental, and physical distress of injustice. In addition, they will unify my efforts to help break the bondage of race and sex discrimination. How difficult would it be to exist without these supports? Since I am an African American and a woman, I would have low self esteem and many opportunities for decent work opportunities would cease to exist. In addition, I would definitely would not have any opportunities for clergy in the church.The impact they would have on your life if they weren't there. I would be misguided, would give up, and may run away.

  1. Hi Rachel,
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts about God. Truly He is alive and provides support, love and comfort. He is my strength too. Like I said in my post today, I would be lost and unhappy without any support from anyone. People need God and people. Have a Happy Easter!

  2. Good evening Rachel. I also appreciate how you mentioned your religious beliefs as one of your daily supports. Your souse and family; what cold we do without their support for our frustrations we sometimes bring home, stories of our successes, late nights and meetings...love of family is huge!
