Last summer I went on my first mission trip to Watts. The overall theme of the trip was to be exposed to different cultures and religions. I have recently been given the opportunity to serve again this summer, with The Grove High School Ministry. I was accepted on the team, and boy do we have a great team this year. Everyone brings something different to the team. Different backgrounds, opinions, thoughts, personalities. God is definitely going to use us on that trip. We had a meeting earlier today, and Tyler (the leader) was talking about how attitude is everything. He said 10% is circumstance but the other 90% is the way you REACT to the circumstance. Its something that we can apply to every day situations. Whether with your parents, siblings, or friends. I have a hard time understanding other people's thought process, and sometimes put them down for that. I'm going to try to keep the "10%-90% saying" in mind as I take this next week on. (: But keep the Exposure 2010 Team in your prayers and the people of Watts!
+Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should not only look to you own interests, but also to the interests of others. -Philippians 2:3-4
