All about HIM

Week one of camp was a success! Now I am gearing up for a week with the 3rd graders.
There are a bunch of things planned during my evenings this week. I have a dentist appointment, I want to try ZUMBA! (has anyone done this?), and I'm going to Nifty-fifty's with camp people. (it's a really cool diner) It'll be fun and busy all at the same time.

Lately, from my own Bible reading, prayer, church, and conversations I've been realizing that this life is really ALL. ABOUT. GOD. and I need to give myself fully in surrender to Him. I mean, "duh" that seems overly obvious but it's sinking in for me again. I so often get upset about things that don't really matter, but when I have the attitude that Jesus IS my life, that I'm LIVING truly for Him and Him alone, those other things don't seem like quite as big of a deal.
Sometimes I get really easily upset about things and overreact to things that are so fleeting. BUT when I have the attitude that JESUS is my everything, those things can slide much more easily.

I've also been having the revelation..if you will...to be nice, even when you don't feel it and to be super nice when you want to be selfish. (and I'm really speaking for me personally more than anyone else) This can be put into the context of campers, and friends...just having the attitude of putting others before myself. It makes for a much happier world I have noticed, when I am giving of myself more, rather than having a negative attitude and wanting to react in a selfish manner. It goes back to this life being allll about Jesus.

1. This life isn't about me.
2. This life is about Jesus.
3. I will pour out my life for others to glorify HIM.

Sounds like a good plan.
