Giggles, paint and...humility?

Hey guys I know I've missed a few days but it's not my fault...I've been away from Internet access. I know that sounds crazy this day in age but it's true. lol. I have been babysitting the Schalk girls and then spent all day today working a block party. I spent literally all day outside and am now bright RED...including my feet! Yikes! However, it was great fun. I did lots of everything from face painting, to staffing games, serving food and just about everything else possible. I loved it! :)

Also, I'm super excited because I leave tomorrow for Branson! I'm working as an intern for Unity Baptist Church.

All in all the last three days have been so much that I don't even have enough time to write about it. there is also a lot, a lot of pictures yet I only have like ten minutes to do this b/c i still have to pack. However, the purpose of this blog is to not only tell about my day but to talk about what God is teaching me. And God has been teaching me a lot. A lot about humility...and being humble. If you want to be humbled I suggest reading Job 38-39. I don't understand how someone can read that and not now that God is real or read that and not need to get down on your knees and pray. This world teaches that humility is weakness but that's false...being humble doesn't mean you be little oneself or anything. Humility is attained by simply opening our eyes to reality.

Beth Moore said "Humility is not something we have until humbling ourselves is something we do." I personally would rather humble myself than force God to humble me. "Let's allow the circumstance, weaknesses, and any thorns in the flesh God has chosen to leave to do the job they were sent to do...provoke humility." This is so true but also makes me laugh!

Well, I have to pack and get to bed...it's going to be another long day tomorrow. I urge you to read Job 38...then mediate on it.
God Bless! :)
