Today was a great day! We woke up at 8 and had breakfast at 8:30, then we had our quiet time! Todays quiet time was about why service is important to God's kingdom. something that really stuck out to me was when i read this quote "Service keeps our heads centered on the things of God. It makes us more human and less selfish."
What this means to me is, as human's we have grown up with people saying " your not perfect" and "its okay we all sin sometimes". We live in a world that has low expectations of us. When really God created us not to sin and to strive to be like Jesus. We live in this bubble that has made it okay to not obey God sometimes because "He will just forgive us anyways." But my thought is what if we make a conscious to act like Jesus. God created us to be perfect and just because Adam and Even chose sin does not mean we should choose sin everyday. we all slip and fall but i believe that if humans embrace the mind set that we can be more like Jesus everyday that our would become a better place! As a side note, this trip has been awesome and i am so proud of our youth group. on countless occasions we have pushed past being tired and hungry. We have helped others who need it a lot more than we do! All i ask is that you all pray for the strength and health of our youth group as we spend these couple last days here in Mexico...
Sincerely,
Lauren Lytle
