This week, my main challenge has been putting other people before my self at ALL TIMES. So, story time. I'm in a sorority, and we have a dance this weekend. For all of our dances, we have to have a certain number of "sober sisters" to not drink and be there to take girls home if they drink too much. I don't drink anyways, so the staying sober part isn't a problem at all for me. At first I was really bummed about being sober sister, because I'm so excited to have fun with my friends and I didn't want to have to leave because of someone else's mistake. But through different experiences this week I've realized that as a follower of Christ, this is not the attitude I should have. Instead, it is a great opportunity for me to show God's love to the girls in my sorority who might not have a relationship with Jesus. By leaving the dance to take care of someone else, I will be showing God's love and putting other people before myself, which is what God wants me to do at all times.

This is exactly like today's devotional, "Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone..." Being a slave and helping others is one of the best ways that we can honor God. I made a big deal out of the possibility of leaving an activity early to help someone else, which now sounds like the dumbest and most selfish thing in the world. This is something that will also probably happen this summer as a Barney, where I'll have to stop doing an activity to help one of the campers. I'm so thankful for the way in which I realized how selfish I was being, so that I can learn from this mistake and from now on show God's love to everyone by being a slave for God.

I know this probably seems really random and kind of dumb... but that was my lesson for the week so I decided to share it with you guys haha. I hope you all are having wonderful weeks and I love reading all your blog posts. Thanks for being so encouraging!
