Day 10

So I gave up texting for a week so for the next week you won't get any pictures because I have to take them with my phone and then send them to my email. Since I can't text I can't send the pictures and I don't have my camera on me at the moment. But on the other side of this equation its a pretty interesting experience. First off I don't feel the need to check my phone every five minutes because even if someone did text me then it wouldn't matter cause I can't respond. Second I have to constrain myself when I do get a text message not to respond even though I really really want to. I have to hold my thumbs back and just close the text message, hoping I don't offend any texters. But I think this experience will be worthwhile, but it can definitely turn into a longer experience.

So I will paint a wonderful picture of God's beauty today with words. Just kinda talk about what I see. So my memory verse of the week is Philippians 2:1-5, which reads:

¹ Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, ² then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. ³ Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, ⁴ not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

 ⁵ In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

The verse speaks about having humility. Refraining from having pride in all situations. We must control our tongue and be open minded of others. "Rather, humility value others above yourselves," I don't think anyone can do that with everyone. Its so difficult to hold every person I see above myself regardless of who they are. So that is my challenge. Talk to you later!
