Thoughts and a Prayer - Sofia

          This blog is about what I, Slug (Sofia), have done today and what my thoughts are about the trip so far. Our groups left today at roughly 6 am, and had multiple stops. My group consisted of Laura, Phil, Zane, and Scott and we took a couple of pit stops, one including stopping in Weed, California. During the 10 hour drive, we all played Uno a lot, talked about the most random things possible, sang many songs from the weird radio stations and ate QUITE a bit of snacks. (by the way mom if you’re seeing this, I still didn’t eat the salad). Today was a very good day to communicate and get along with the group I was with.    

Today’s bible group time had a lot of thorough thinking and not only what things people do that annoy us, but what WE do ourselves that may be annoying or agitating towards others. This group time for me was focusing more on how you effect others, than how others effect you. We also had to write a prayer, not a “on the spot give me a prayer quick”, we were all able to think and get all of our thoughts on paper.

My prayer was about Philippians 2:1-11,

“God, I need more guidance to remind myself that I may be just as confused, or could be in the same place someone else is if they don’t get a task or how to say/do something. Guide me on this trip to not get annoyed and to rather help someone even if they don’t get what the task is the first time, or the second time, or even possibly the third time. I will help others, and make sure that they are at the same place the rest of the group is and not to be left behind. We are all human beings, we should not consider ourselves to be higher in this trip. We all need to be getting something, and no one should be left in the dark.”
