Service

This is my first post (take two). Yay! I'm so excited!

Yesterday I got up early, did my chores and I did a few of Nico's chores too because she got to bed pretty late. I hoped on my bike and rode for an hour, and came home at 8:15, did my school (finished early) and went to Pipeline (youth group). Even while during worship time, I couldn't help but feel rather hurt that Nico never said anything about my doing her chores. ( Pause! I always like how God 'sets me up' but just watch, it gets good). Yester-night's topic was servitude, Christ-like servitude. We read and discussed John 13 (about Jesus washing the disciples' feet). We talked about how, so often we serve for the warm fuzzy feelings we get, and for the thank yous. It hit me really hard as I realised that was most of the reason I did the chores that morning. More over, I realised that when I wait for other people to to serve me in return, I'm trying to act god (thanks Lindsey!). I'm thinking of myself as worthy, as above them so that they should serve me in payment. How much more wrong could I be?

I'm gonna try to serve people this week. Lots of people. Not only that, but I'm gonna serve without expecting so much as any notice, a thank you or anything in return, not for me, but for God. Who's with me?
