I'm reflecting on the sermon we heard at church Sunday. It was a very good sermon, & I'm glad I was wide awake for it this week as opposed to the previous week, where I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was mainly about humbling yourself. One of my favorite verses is James 4:10 "Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up." Putting yourself last behind God, & all others. And everything you do, do it for Him or someone else, not yourself. This is something I try to live by daily, but I find myself thinking that I am doing all of this for God, but in reality, I might be doing it for myself. I live each day to serve Him & others, not much that I do is for myself, so I think, but I know it really is. I have to fully commit to giving everything over and thus keeping nothing for myself. After listening to this message, I also noticed how many selfish people there are in this world and how many selfish acts can be done each day. I really get down when I see people only do things for themselves. It's like they can't step out of their box for even one day or one act for a friend, family member, their church, whatever. It's only going to be about what can be done for them, not anyone else. But, these are usually the people who say they do everything for everyone else....why is that?? If you are truly humble and a servant, then you don't boast about your deeds. You don't do them for show or fame, you do them so others can benefit. This is hard to accomplish, but I think if we all tried really hard at it, this world would be such a better place rather than one of guilt, despair, and greed.

on a side note, I think I am going to join the drama ministry team at church. I really see no reason why I shouldn't, this is clearly a passion of mine, and I have no good excuse not to.
