You are so right! God has a plan for each of us, in each of our places. Anything with two heads is a monster. Some of us have to be eyes, hands, or feet. God will use all. I believe things like drawing lots were done because, in those days, the Bible as we know it didn't exist. When that which is perfect (God's word in the Bible) is come, that which is in part (such as drawing lots) will be put away.

Lol that's a good way of putting it

Sure, I would like to have been an Executive Director when I was working, but God put me in the position where He could use me best. I stayed there for 26 years, till I became disabled.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that last part. 26 years...I haven't even been an adult for that amount of time.

I would still be there today if I could.

Hi Erika
I have a suggestion that would help me Tom better understand your story. Ignore me if you don't like it
Have you considered adding the scripture about which you are writing? I'd love it! But you are writing about multiple scripture sources.
It is interesting about the forty days. It is more than a month. I agree it would be nice to know
Some scholars think that Judas was not the one who betrayed Jesus. I'm not sure about that.
I enjoyed your story. I like how you documented your assumptions
Here I think you meant God
" Got is not on our clock, we are on his. "
Here I think that they is the wrong pronoun. Maybe
It means that everyone decides. But, up to you
"It means they agree to move forward with you"
Here I think you meant by judas
" The disciples come together to fill the vacant spot left my Judas. "
Here I think it should be others (plural) were
" chosen which means the other was rejected. It must hurt for God to pass you "
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Would it be too long if I added the scripture? It was the full chapter.
Thanks for your help!
-
Yeah. Might be too long. Can you copy and paste? You could put it on the bottom of your notes so only those who want to read it can Maybe you could just identify which psalms and verses. Someone like me would go and read those passages.

Then two angels tell them that how he left is how he'll return. So Jesus isn't going to be born on earth again. Therefore anyone who claims to be Jesus but was born on earth would have to be lying. Jesus will descend from heaven the same way he ascended.
This was engaging from start to finish. It grabbed my attention and held it well. Great overall job. The graphic is also very fitting .b
