In contrast to the full busy days of last week I have been down visiting my parents and enjoying some relaxation the last few days. Monica had some days off from work we’ve been shopping and I was able to work on painting project I brought. But today I am on my way back home, and I know that Bobby is going to be glad because every time he calls he asks when I’m coming back because he misses me…and my cooking I think!

Over the weekend we had our first summer girl’s Bible study. We talked about our attitudes. It is important to realize that our attitudes are a choice and not a reaction over which we have no control. We looked at Philippians 2:5-8 and studied the pattern it gives of Christ’s attitudes in humility and obedience. Since our attitudes reflect our thoughts it is easy to see that we think about ourselves alot. The girls decided that the biggest contributing, but not determining factor to our thoughts and attitudes is circumstances. We lose our focus on Christ and start realizing that things may not be happening how we would want them to. We focused in on some practical ways that we can live the preceding verses in Philippians 2:3-4
