Hey guys… sorry i haven't done this in forever, i forgot how to do it then had to get my dad to help me, so sorry about that… so since i'm so behind, i'm doing all of the assignments in one:) i did my expectations on the first blog i did.
SERVICE:
If i had to serve or be served, honestly i think i would like to serve better. i also like to be served but i prefer to serve. But a few times i've had to be served. I had oral surgery twice and i had to stay in bed the whole time. So my family would have to take care of me and serve me. i liked being served for a while, but i also wished i could get up and do things so i wouldn't make other people have to do things for me, it kind of made me feel lazy. But though i wanted to get up and do things myself, it was also a blessing, because i couldn't do things myself, i had a loving family to take care of me.
FOCUS:
Here in Greenville, some differences that i could make is to be a christian that others could look up too. Such as, being kind and helping them. My youth pastor said once, that just because we were singing in church, the younger kids looked up to us. And babysitting helps parents so much. But there are some opportunities i am missing because of the trip. We leave in the middle VBS at church, and other small things. There were a few things i would lose focus on. When we were still in school i would be so focused on passing my final exams that it was hard to focus on other things. But also because of the trip, i have lost a little focus on my friends, because i am so focused on getting ready for the trip. But as the trip is getting closer reality has hit me, and i have focused on my friends, family, and responsibilities i have now.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
i have a few prayer requests for the trip. First, that all of us will be safe, and that none of us will get hurt. Also, that i will go outside my comfort zone, because i am a shy person and i wish this summer would be the summer that i go outside of my comfort zone. Also, that i would trust in Him with EVERYTHING! And put my full trust in him. Lastly, that i would grow in my relationship with Christ! Thanks guys! i love ya'll and i'll be praying for you!
RESPECT:
What i think respect is like the honor a person is given. Depending on the age, if it is an elder( such as an adult, teacher, etc) i think they should automatically get respect, because they are older than me. If it is someone like my age, i think they should get automatic respect, but if somehow they lose their respect i think they would need to earn it back. Some ways i can show respect to my team is, give them privacy, giving them personal space, etc.
