In the beggining God created the heavens and earth. Darkness was over the earth and god was hovering over it. After he created the heaven and earth god said "Let there be light" and there was light.  He then called the light "day" and the dark "night". There was evening and there was morning. Then god created the ocean and the clouds. God then said let the water under the light be gathered to one place, and land was created. Then God made the land produce vegetation. Then god made the seasons.Then God continued on to make the fish in the sea. Then he made the birds and animals. Then God made all the livestock and animals according to their time. He then sais that humans are to rule over all animals. and we have dominion over the earth. God then created man into his image, and had them increase in number. he then gives us all the seed-bearing plants. After God did all this in 6 days, he rested on the 7th day.
God then created Adam from the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils. God then made a garden in th east called Eden, it had all sort of plants and such, including the tree of good and evil, and the tree of knowledge. He placed Adam in the Garden. The lord told Adam not to eat from the tree of good and evil, because he will surely die. Adam had all control over the garden. God then gave Adam the job of naming all the animals and livestock. God then caused Adam to fall into  deep sleep, and while he was sleeping God created woman out of a rib from Adam, Adam then named the being a "woman". Adam and Eve were both naked, and they felt no shame. 
The serpent then Eve that she will not die from the tree of good and evil. Adam and Eve ate from the tree. They all of the sudden became aware of the fact that they were naked. God came down and asked where are you? Adam and Eve hid from God. God then banished them from the Garden of Eden.


Main Verse: Genesis 1:27- "Then God said, let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." This verse stuck out to me because I was curious why God says "Us". I also was intrigued that God chose us, out of all things, to take care of his creation.


Application: In my life, I need to not let evil tempt me, like it did to Eve. One thing I need to improve on is my language. Coming from a public school, I used bad language. Although I already have improved dramatically on using better language.
