| so i have been gone for two weeks! Doing super summer! I was a small group leader for some totally awesome girls! I wish I could have gotten to know them even more! It is so awesome to watch God work in their lives. I just hope that we all will keep up with what God has taught us. It would be awesome if we could just live at camp! But living at home for Jesus is what we are called to do so I hope that I can do what I'm supposed to do. |

| So I am getting ready to go to cedar rapids Iowa. I just started my new job. It sounds kind of boring but I think that it might end up being a lot of fun. I have no idea who i am going to meet and how much money I will actually be making, but here I go. I am going to be out of town a lot now but at least I got a new phone plan so I can talk more for free. Ha ha anyway I will have a lot of time to myself so I am looking forward to spending more time in the word. It is so hard to stay close to God when you are surrounded by so many distractions. So even though I have this new traveling job I am really just excited to grow in my walk. Well please be praying for me and hopefully I will see everyone soon. |

| So I haven't written on this in an extremely long time. You could blame it on my lack of internet at home. But it is really an example of how lazy I really am. You could say I am a little stupid to cause I just started this and now I have to go to class. You gotta love the view. So hello and goodbye, I love you all. Well most of you. I hope that everyone is doing well. |

| Imitating Christ's Humility
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,
if any comfort from his love,
if any fellowship with the Spirit,
if any tenderness and compassion,
then make my joy complete by being like minded,
having the same love,
being one in spirit and purpose.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests,
but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, but made himself nthing , taking the
very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and
became obedient to death even death on a cross! therefore God
exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every toungue confess
that Jesus christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11
I LOVE THAT PART OF PHILIPPIANS. IT'S JUST A REALLY GREAT WAY TO SET
YOUR LIFE AFTER. JESUS WAS SO AWESOME AND SO PERFECT. IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD WANT TO make himself nothing and take the nature
of a servant and become like a human just for me and just for you. I PRAY THAT
I WILL BE AS HUMBLE AS JESUS WAS AND I PRAY THAT MY ATTITUDE WILL BE THE SAME
AS JESUS CHRIST.
GOD IS SO AWESOME |
