Less of me, More of others

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. -Philippians 2:3-4

I have been so bummed by my inability to keep up on blog updates lately. Its not that I am super busy, although I have been a busy bee, but that I have limited Internet access making it difficult to make time to get to the library to post updates. This is a real bummer for me because I have been having so many blog worthy experiences and life altering lessons that I so much want to share with the blogging world.

I have been wrestling with trying to decide what I should fast or give up for lent. I have come to the decision that for this lent season it is not necessarily going to be about what I will give up or not do but what I will take on and do more.

I am going to make an effort to blog once everyday for the next ~40 days. In addition to trying to do more things for others whether it be holding a door for somebody, letting somebody go ahead of me in line, helping my aunt and uncle around the house, cooking a meal for somebody whom might be having a tough or busy week, or praying for others. These are just a few ideas. It's not how small or big the deed or even the quantity of the deeds, but that I will be thinking less about myself and more about others.
