A God More Powerful Than Zeus

I work at a school as a teachers aide in an ESE english class.

And for this 9 weeks we decided to have them read a book.

The book we decided....

Pearcy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

So that I would be able to help the kids I read the book prior to giving it to them.

It's actually a very good book.

I'm sure ya'll have seen the movie.

Both are very similar.

The book just elaborates more on what is going on in Pearcy Jackson's mind.

For those who haven't seen the movie or read the book...

Pearcy is the son of Posidon (god of the sea), a demi god.

He finds this out when he is 13 so it comes as shock.

But what got me is how many references I could take and compare to my father...

No not my earthly father, but my heavenly father...Jesus!

Through out the book he finds he has powers just like his dad. Just like we as Christians have the power to move montains, heal ect.

At one point he is standing on beach overlooking an ocean and he is awestruck that he the son of the god who controls 70% of what the world is made of.

The minute I read that it hit me. I am the daughter of thee God. The God who not only controls the Seas, but the Skies, and everything in between!!!

Mind Blown!

Just seeing it in that perspective makes my heart sing. Gives me a purpose!

This whole book is filled with situations just like that one where your like wait...I really am the child of God!

A god much more powerful than Posidion and Zues.

The book makes a reference that the gods don't have time for their kids...

and sorry. but I couldn't help myself...

Isn't good to know that God has time for his children.

Isn't good to know that we are the children of the one, only true, and living God!

Read the book and let me know if you find any more references!!!

So cool :)
