Well, in just two weeks we'll be getting on a planes to fly to Boston! Super exciting.
Make sure that if you've missed any posts that you get caught up (sooner rather than later).
Here's some questions for this week...
What do you think Philippians 2:3 means?
What's the biggest sacrifice you've ever seen someone make?
Looking @ pages 110-111...what are some sacrifices you think you could make in Boston? In the next year?

Ok. I think that Phillipians 2:3 means that we should always be humble and think of others as being more important than ourselves. This is an example of sacrafice because we're putting ourself below others and giving up our pride. That's a huge sacrafice to make. It's pretty hard to do in my opinion.
The biggest sacrafice someone has made is of course Jesus dying on the cross. But I'ma think of another one cuz that's obvious. Hmmm. Well, one sacrafice that I can think of is my mom gave up being a teacher to be a stay at home mom for me and my sibs. This means a lot to me because I love having her at home when I come home from school and she's always there to help me with my homework.
This probably isn't the biggest sacrafice but it's all I can think of right now. And I really appreciate my mommy giving up her career for my benefit. She put my well-being before her own. She was living out Phillipians 2:3!
I'm gonna try and follow her example and Jesus' so that I can be more humble and sacraficial.
Hey Lebos, I don't have a cell phone and my nose is bleeding. Cheeeesecake. Ha ha ha.
Bye.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe that Boston is coming so soon!! Yayy!
Ok, so I think that Phillipians 2:3 means that we should never do anything out of selfishness or vain, but out of humbleness. And also we must always remember to put others before ourselves, and not to do so with a bad attitude. Man, this is really hard to accomplish, but we all have to try our best to fufill this sacrifice.
Well, obviously, the biggest sacrifice that I know is Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. That was such a selfless thing to do, and he went through pain and humiliation for what WE did wrong. But a big sacrifice that I've actually seen in my life are some of the amazing missionaries and volunteers that I see every day. It inspires me when people dedicate so much time and effort to help each other out, and they work so intentively for God. It really pleases me and I'm sure it pleases God as well that they are living out Phillipians 2:3, like Lauren's mom.
Some sacrifices that I think that I can make in Boston is too step out of my comfort zone to introduce someone to the Lord or use a lot of my time and energy to benefit someone else. In the next year, I want to try to grow more in my faith and stand up for what I think is right. I might lose some of my friends or something, but I truly want to live out God's word to my full potential.
Thanks for reading, I can't wait till our trip! :)

Ello peeps, Lingy here. I thought this section was one of the best. the story was great and once again showed lots of insight on Zach's part. 1. Don't do things to only get ahead in the world/ help yourself but live for others and it all comes back to you(coke commercial). 2. I once knew this guy named joe who worked as a nurse. He was in this bad surcome stance where the guardians of the kid he was taking care of at there house allways found something wrong with him. They constintly nagged him to the point that he wanted to quit. But he felt dedicated to his paitent dylan who was legally blind, partially paralized from the neck down, retarded, and completely dependent on others. My mom, a teacher, had to help stimulate his senses and helped joe take care of dylan. Joe gave up a lot for dylan and loved doing it. 3. I want to sacrifice my time and comfort to help the people in boston and I will work to be a better friend to outsiders at school.

I'm doing this backwards just for the heck of it:
The biggest sacrifice I've ever seen anyone make would probably my parent's friends. When my dad got a kidney stone, as well as diagnosed with Diabetes, he was in the hospital for weeks, and we spent most of those weeks at my grandparents house because they lived closer to the hospital. Because we were rarely home during that time our house/yard sort of fell into disrepair. My mom and dad's ABF got together and came over to our house to "help" us (more like do it for us) with all of our projects both big and small. They mowed the lawn, they raked the leaves, and I could go on and on. The reason I think this is the biggest sacrifice I have seen so far is because they all took time from their days and lives to help us when we really needed it. They could have been going to a party, or going to see a movie, or anything else, but they chose to help us. I think that this will never leave me, I will be forever grateful to them and God.
I think Philippians 2:3 is kinda pushing the golden rule. "Love others as you love yourself" or better yet, put others BEFORE youself. Meaning put others needs/wants in front of your needs/wants.
This is Tyler K. signing out, PEACE!
P.S. Cant wait to see you all the night before we fly!
for me i think that philippians 2:3 means to live your life for others and not only for yourself. instead of always thinking about yourself, think about others as well. i may be difficult sometimes but if everyone does it together than it may be easier.
the biggest sacrifice that someone has given that has been part of my life was when my dad gave up a life of raquet ball and possibly even going pro, which kinda sounds dumb and boring, to living a life with Christ and eventualy becoming a missionary. i think that that was a big sacrifice and proably a hard one to make, but in the end it all turned out good.
i think that i should sacrifice more of my time and help out more people who are in need of it. it may be hard but i think that it would be worth it.
Philippians 2:3 means that we should be humble and ALWAYS consider others better than ourselves.
the biggest sacrifice someone has made for me and all of us is Jesus dying on the cross for our sins!!
i think we could be able to go out of our way for someone that has a question or wants us to stop and talk or something along those lines.
i think we might be able to give up some of our time we are always rushing to and fro we should stop from and take time to stop and help others with stuff they might need!!
Gary Older
Philippians 2:3 means that we should not put ourselves before others, that we should be humble, and that we shouldn't do anything selfishly and in vain conceit.
The biggest sacrifice i've seen anyone make, or at least that i can think of at the moment would be the sacrifice my parents are making to send me to school at a private Christian school, and the sacrifice my parents also made for all of my siblings and me when my mom used to home school us, because she had to sacrifice her time.
in Boston ( WOOO BOSTON!!! so close yet so farrr) i will try my hardest and beyond to put others before myself and do all that Philippians 2:3 says, and in the next year, i will try to apply Philippians 2:3 to my life and sacrifice my popularity and time to make someone else feel at home, and make new friends.
Well Philippians 2:3 is a good verses to remember for the trip in Boston. The reason is because it means to me is that you should some times think of other people more then your self by helping or giving. For the next Question I have never sale a sacrifice but I know how has given sacrifice for there people and it is the USARMY. The reason is because they have a chose to be in the army and they chose to be inn the army to sacrifice there lives for a live for there people. In this book it tells about a kid how talk to a unpopular and Be's nice to him as a good friend. So as a community lets sacrifice or love and friendliness to a neither by helping the people in a good way. Let's have fun in Boston and enjoy the week by helping others
i think phillipians 2:3 says we should be humble.. and always put others before ourselves...this is a good example of sacrifice because your putting someones needs before your own. which to me is basically sacrifice.. jesus put our needs and us before his needs and himself.
the biggest sacrifice anyone has ever made for me would be jesus giving up his life for me to live in heaven one day,
a sacrifice i think i can make in boston is leaving my mom.. it was very hard for me to leave my mom last year for the north carolina trip.. and i have prayed abotu it a lot.. for the boston trip.. i think it will be very hard.. but i am going to do it because i want to be involved with the missions trips and because hopefully it will stretch me so that i am more comfortable in the future when i have to leave my parents..
I think that Phillipians 2:3 means we should be humble and put others before our selves. Which can be very difficult to do.
The biggest sacrifice that someone has made for me or others is Jesus. He could have decided to flee and not die on the cross for us and leave to perish in hell. But he is a sacrificial person he did die for us.
Probably the biggest sacrifice I’ve done is when my Grandpa went to the hospital and my grandma was all alone. She wanted someone to come. I could have stayed home and watch TV all weekend but I decided to spend my time with her. My Grandma is in an early stage of alztimers and she was a bit annoying and wanted to do everything that night. She watched me sleep (kinda freaky) and she woke me up around 3 to make brownies. Even thou she was really annoying but I still love her to death and I was glad I got to take time out and spend it with her. That’s maybe my biggest sacrifice I’ve done so far.
Some sacrifices that I could do on the Boston trip is get out off my comfort zone and just be out there for others.
Well tata for now! AND THE BOSTON TRIP IS COMING UP!
-Abby :p
I think that Phillipians 2:3 means that we should think of others before ourselves. I think the biggest sacrafice is when Jesus died on the cross.
Katie
i think philipeans 2:3 means that we should put oursleves below others and do things for others even if we dont want them
the biggest sacrifice i hav witnessed is my mom for her trip to india she took all of her personal savings and put them out on a trip to help others and she put so much work into it even though the trip itself was putting her out of her comfort zone
in boston we are gonna hav to make sacrifices by stepping out of our comfort zone and even if we get tired or bored we keep going, and i want to try to put others before myself
~Sam S.
H3Y!!!
WHY 1$N'T 1T P0$TI1G MY $TUFF!?
What I think this verse is talking about is like, treat other the way you'd treat yourself. Put other BEFORE you, and not to be selfish.
A sacrifice I'm going to make in Boston is, I'm going to give up some time with my friends. Instead of being all chatty with my friends I'm going to spend that time with a child that maybe doesn't have anyone else to talk to. Maybe we'll go play jumprope or hopscotch or something.
Something I'll do in the next year, is give up my time to help out my mom more. Do some laundry, or dishes or make dinner once in a while. I know she's the mom and she's supposed to do that stuff, but she should get a brake once in a while! She does all of that without a please or thank you. She needs a little time off her feet
Peace,
Mads=]
I think this verse is talking about put others first and not always be thinking of yourself. Also do things for others and not just yourself and treat others how you would want to be treated! Isn't that the golden rule hahahahahaha mads I'm still trying to figure that out!!!!
The biggest sacrifice I have ever seen anyone make is my Aunt and Uncle taking in my Grandma who has memory loss. Honestly they have no life because someone always has to be with her at all times and she cant entertain herself so thats their job. She always has to have her hearing aid in, her glasses on, and when shes in the bathroom shes in there for atleast 20 min. (on her good days). This past month my Grandma stayed with us to give my Aunt and Uncle a break. I died that week because she stayed in my room which made me go in our oven attic with my college sister. When my parents where working I was stuck being home with her, having the same conversation over and over again with her haha. SHe was with my family for a little under a month and I was so sick of not being able to do stuff because of her but then my Aunt and Uncle have lived with her for a year and have not complained, that is a huge sacrifice!
Sacrifices I will try and make in Boston are not caring about what I look like hahahaha and not complaining about the heat or the food or drama which shouldn't happen anyway hahahahahahahaha but I really hope that we show the people we are going to be serving in Boston God's love and I'm praying that I will be able to make these sacrifices!
-lil Brummy-
For me Phillipians 2:3 means we should be humble and help other with a smile! And don't do things for selfish reasons, becuase if you do it doesn't do much good!
The biggest sacrafice someone has ever made would be jesus dieing on the cross! He didn't have to do it but he came to earth grew up and died on the cross. this sacrafice is obvious but was a major sacrafice.

codongolev postin' in the hizzouse!
so anawayz, on to the first question. what does Philipians 2:3 mean. well, I'm going to break it down. first, Do nothing out of vain conceit means to do nothing for yourself alone. Don't just do something just because it will benifit you. do it for others. second, in humility, consider others better than yourself. that means that you should not consider others as weaker, or worse just because they are less fortunate. in other words, don't be stuck up. be humble.
hmm... the biggest sacrifice i've seen someone make? wow, I guess I can't really say... but I'll just name a few I've heard of. A: this one isn't too well known, and you may not have heard of it, but Jesus dying on the cross. (yay sarcasm.) but that's obvious and doesn't need much explanation. so another that I heard of was on america's got talent, of all places. there was two guys who were performing an act in the name of their uncle, because when they lived in new orleans,he was wheelchair ridden. when the hurricane came, he couldn't get out of the house. he made sure that everyone got out first, and ended up drowning because he couldn't get out. I think that's pretty amazing. I mean, he gave his life for his neices and nephews. I'm not sure I could truthfully say that I could do that.
Sacrifices I could make in boston, Eh? well, it could go from something as small as stepping out of my comfort zone to help someone to maybe even talking to someone about christ. I don't know. whatever God decides I need to do, I guess I'll do. and as for the next year, I am trying currently to be more godlike during school. I think a good sacrifice to make would be to possibly step out of my comfort zone a little bit to try to show Christ in a good light.
codongolev .!:^:!.
I think that Philippians 2:3 means that we should consider others better or more important than ourselves. Usually, the more important people are treated better. Like the president would get a better seat than you in a concert or something like that. So basically, its saying that we should treat others better than we treat ourselves. Also, we should put them BEFORE us.
The biggest sacrifice someone has made is of course Jesus dying on the cross. Im pretty sure a lot people have said this, but it truly is THE biggest sacrifice someone has ever made. Also, my parents friends have made a huge sacrifice to give their time to help the inner-city children and others kids. A few of my friends also sacrifice their time to help kids learn to speak English. They dont care about not getting paid, but they still take the time to help them speak better.
In Boston, a sacrifice i will have to make is stepping out of my comfort zone to share Gods Word with the people there.

I think that Phillipians 2:3 means that we should not do something for our own gain that would hurt others. It also means that we should put others needs in front of ours.
The biggest sacrifice I think taht someone has made is when Jesus died on the cross for us. My parents have also made a big sacrificed to get me and my brother to Christian schools.
Giving a week of our summer for Boston is a sacrifice, but we should also reach out to the people that we meet there and put them in front of us. Just like Phillipians 2:3.
cameron H
alright, well i think Philippians 2:3 means first that we shouldnt do things for our own selfish reasons that will only benefit us. but that we need to humble ourselves and in doing that we need to give up our interests and consider others more important than us. and that we need to be willing to make sacrafices in order to benefit someone else.
One of the biggest sacrafices i have actually seen someone make would be the fact that my mom was willing to homeschool my sisters and i. I cant even imagine how hard it must really be to stay home all week with 4 kids, trying to teach them all different grade levels of school and such. i couldnt even begin to think of how many hours she has sacraficed, helping us with everything she had to teach us and all the things we had questions about and needed help with. idk, just thinking of how much time and love, and effort she has put into homeschooling us has really made me realize how much work it must be, and just how much i really appreciate her.
in boston, i will try my best to step out of my comfort zone, and to just be willing to share the word of God with the people there. and to also put others needs and such before mine.
Sorry I’m late. I think Philippians 2:3 means that you shouldn’t act like you’re the best thing on the planet and treat others like crap.
The biggest sacrifice I‘ve seen was when a solider jumped on top of a live grenade to save his squad and al that was left was his helmet.
crud sticks! sorry this is so late! i posted on Sunday but it didn't show up or something so when I came back to look at other peoples answers, I noticed mine isn't here. =[
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Philippians 2:3 means that we shouldn't do anything because we are trying to be better than someone else or beat someone at something but we should do things that are beneficial to other people and we should do it humbly.
2. The biggest sacrifice I've ever physically seen someone make is my family [my parents, grandma, aunts uncles, etc.] when my grandpa had a stroke. i can only remember about four years back, at which time it had been 10 years since my grandpas stroke, and why i remember it is because thats when he started to go downhill a lot. my family members would split up the days of the week to go and be with him for several hours during the day so my grandma could go out and still live her life. all of my family members had to sacrifice their time that they could be working or they could be with their kids to go be with my grandpa and what was so awesome was i can't remember even one of them complaining about having to go.
3. In Boston, a sacrifice I will have to make is i guess kind of 'forcing' myself to get over my mild fear of people. I know we'll have opportunities to talk to people and thats an aspect of this that scares me a little because I've just always had this fear of talking to new people that goes far beyond shyness. So I guess you could say I'll have to sacrifice my comfort zone. that is a sacrifice that i can also continue to work on in the next year.
I can't wait til next Friday! =]

What do you think Philippians 2:3 means?
You should not do things to make yourself look better, but to give self esteem to lower people.
What's the biggest sacrifice you've ever seen someone make?
The biggest sacrifice I’ve ever seen someone make is how much my parents sacrifice for me. They’ve gone through many jobs and many hard times to get where they are today. My parents stuck together during the difficult years to make my brother’s and my own life the best that it could be lived. A lot of time and effort must be given when raising two children.
Looking @ pages 110-111...what are some sacrifices you think you could make in Boston? In the next year?
In Boston I will sacrifice all of my “me” time and spend it working for other people.
In the next year, I can see myself sacrificing most of my time for volunteering in my community.
Philippians 2:3 means that we shouldn't think of ourselves as being any better than anybody else. Mostly, because we aren't, but partially also because if you start to think too highly of yourself then pretty soon you look down on everybody else around you. The part about "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit"(NIV) or "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory" (KJV) means that you should never do anything if you are trying to do it solely for the purpose of furthering your own purposes, but do it for the glory of God.
A pretty big sacrifice I've seen someone make was that when my older brother was born my mom stopped working to stay at home. She didn't start nursing again until a couple of years ago when my youngest brother was in school (even only half a day).
Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!I am super duper excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that Philipians 2:3 means that you need to put other people and there needs before yourself. We need to sacrifice our needs for the needs of others.
Sacrifice! What a powerful word.The biggest sacrifice in the world is the one Jesus made for us. But another sacrifice i have seen is a man i meet while in D.C. with school. He gave up his job, house and family to fight for what he beleived in.
While in boston some sacrifices i think i can make are listening to people instead of talking. Also throughout the next year i need to stop thinking that the world revolves around me.
Can't wait to see you next Friday!

Philippians 2 : 3 means dont do something just so other pple think your better then them. dont do stuff just so u can brag about it. and dont do anything to make somone humilated.
OK so THE bigest Sacrafice ive ever eseen someone make is my dad.
He quit his job as a firefighter to go into inner city missionary where he gets no pay. HE went form making over 50K to only 17k. He also moved into the neghbor hood with his wife and me and my bros and sis's. the neghborhood where we live has one of the highest crime rates in the state. it has now been 12 years since we moved to the neghbor hood and hehas never sent out a fun raising letter. we got all of the neccisary money from donations and prayer from the lord. God said seek first the kingdom and he will provide the rest, and this is what my dad has done, and God provided. this is why my dad is my hero. he sacraficed all of his money and his job that he loved to serve the lord. even tho its a struggle sometimes when are house gets broken into or one of the people that my dads ministring goes back to drugs, I know tht my dad is willling to sacrafice his life for the lives of others and so tht they know christ.
one thing we can do in boston is try and live for christ, stop caring what others think of you and help those in needs, and not complain when we have work to do.

Hey everyone it's Mason!!!----_----
I think that Phill. 2:3 means that we should think of ourselves no better than anyone else. That we should humble ourselves and put others before our own selfish needs.To put a complete strangers before ourselves seems pretty hard to do, but thats just me.
I know im givin the most generic answer ever but Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifrice when he died on the croos and took the sins of the world away. But the most extreme sacrifice of a human that i know is probably my mom. She sacrifices everyday. She has such a high education yet she works a job that allows her to see her kids every night. She could make so much more money with the authorization and education she has. But she sacrifices all of that to see my little brother and I.But i love that she can come see me play sports and watch my little bro grow.
In Boston and in life in general i think i can do without my phone. I mean like just to seriously get away from people in my ear(and sometimes in my head)just leave all that STUPID noise behind. It'll be hard but hey i'll suck it up.
~peace M.SWIRES
Hey its me Sam H.
I think that Philippians 2:3 means that you should always treat others better that yourself and do nothing that would be getting back at someone else.
The one big sacrifice that comes to mind is when I was in the hospital for 14 days with ruptured appendix witch was life threatening and my Dad stayed with me the entire time. Every night he would sleep on the couch which was tiny and helped me get out of bed and made me walk several times every day to get my strength back. He missed 14 days of work and so many hours of sleep but thanks to him I am still around today. THANKS DAD!!!
Some sacrifices that I could make in Boston include giving money to charity instead of spending it on a pop or something, also is anybody needs anything that I have I would be willing to share with them what they need. In the next year the only thing I can think about right now is volunteering.
Sorry I am so tired, Sam Hill
I think Philippians 2:15 means don’t do something nice just because you want look like good person. Don’t do stuff just for glory. The verse is telling you to do good in order to better others rather than you. If losing something can bring someone else good then, you should lose it for the other person’s sake. Be selfless.
I didn’t see this sacrifice but I know about it through my family and church. A big sacrifice people can make is giving up the comfort of living in the U.S. and going and living in different country. Raising family and becoming apart of the community. Even if the country doesn’t have the best medical care there willing to give up there health in order to share Jesus.
Something I could do in Boston is talk when I don’t want to. Like I’m referring to talking to complete strangers, and even though I don’t know them treat them really special and be super nice. And if an awkward silence comes up not run away but think of something useful or possible totally random to say. And I also can do that in the next year to new people I met to help them feel like they fit in. And if I don’t know what to say ask for help. Or if they annoy me I just will need to remember how annoying I can be; and remember God loves both of us even if we get irritating.
What do you think Philippians 2:3 means?
I think this verse basically means that we should live are lives humbly., and that we will live a more fulfilled life if we put others before ourself.
What's the biggest sacrifice you've ever seen someone make?
The biggest sacrifice was Jesus dying on the cross for the world, but as I didn't personally view that I'm pretty sure that doesn't count. I'm pretty sure the biggest sacrifices I've seen are the ones my parents make everyday for me. They make time to pick me up from sports, miss having meetings, spend there hard earned money on me, and a lot of stuff like that. I know we get in fights all the time, but I really am thankful that they make sacrifices for me.
In Boston I could try to make new friends, or invite new people into my circle, and over the next year I could probably do better just helping people in general
Hey! I'm a bad boy cuz this late! :(
Philippians 2:3...
I think this means everything we do shouldn't just be for ourselves but for the sake of others around me, too. Going back to every other post I've posted, is as Humans we are selfish. we think of what can I get? What about me? This verse asks us to put others first us second.
Biggest Sacrifice...
The biggest obvious sacrifice would be Jesus dying on the cross. But in my own life I would probably be my parents. Recently my grandparents were trying to move out there house and were just struggling. My parents gladly let them stay with us even though they can drive us crazy. In the end, everything is working out.
My Own Sacrifices...
A sacrifice in Boston would to be a better listener than talker. I like to talk a lot (if u haven't noticed) and I think it would be better if I just listened to people and not always putting my own 2 cents in.
Bye Y'all!!!
I think that Phillipians 2:3 means you should be humble, and think of others before yourself. And all your actions should be done out of love, not pride.
The biggest sacrifice I've ever seen anyone make (other than Jesus dying on the cross!) is the sacrifice my mom makes for me playing softball. I'm a pitcher, and everyday I have to pitch an hour for practice. For that, I need a catcher. Instead of doing what my mom would probably rather do like shopphing or reading the newspaper, she cathes for me every single day. When she could be doing something else. It's not an easy job either! some of my fastballs reach up to 55 mph and they hit her..sometimes leaving bruises..but she never complains! She does this all because she loves me and thinks of me first. That's a true sacrifice.
I think that Philippians 2:3 means that we have to think that others are more important than myself. I should take care of others needs before mine. I am supposed to be a servant to others and make sacrifices for them. The biggest sacrifice I've ever seen anyone make is Jesus dying on the cross for mine and everyone's sin. I know that I didn't really see it, but it's the ultimate sacrifice. He came to Earth and died to save everyone else. I think that going to Boston to do what we are going to do is a sacrifice. We're giving up a week of our summer to help others. Some sacrifices I could make in Boston is if a member of our group needs help than I should stop what i'm doing and help them out. In the next year at school if someone needs friends than I should befriend them and hang out with them.
i can't wait for Boston!!!!!!!
-Jacob A.
to me, elijah, philippians 2:3 means that if I am going to do something for someone else i should do it without making a big deal about it. I should just give them what they need.
the biggest sacrifice i made was giving up family vk last year so my sister could have a big wedding. then when one of the groomsmen didn't show up i got to be the groomsmen in his place!
when i go to boston i am sacrificing because i spend my time cutting my grandma's grass to help pay for my trip.
over the next year i can sacrifice some of my time watching TV and playing video games to help out more. i can also help donate more to homeless shelters.

Heyy i think that Phillipians 2:3 means that we shouldnt think of ourselves higher than anyone else. and that we should help each other out with a helpful heart.
I think the biggest sacrifice is Jesus dying on the cross. but another huge sacrifice is when my mom gae up her summer and things she had to do in order to help out my dying uncle and make sure he is comfortable and isnt in pain. That is a huge sacrifice.
heyyy its tonya:]
i think Philippians 2:3 means we should put others before ourselves, and not be selfish, but be humble.
The biggest sacrifice ive ever seen someone make was when my grandma gave up a job she loved to come help me and my mom out and stay with me while my mom worked so i wouldnt be home alone. she gave up the thing she loved most in order to help us out, which i know was a big sacrafice for her knowing how important her job was to her.
i think in boston i could make many sacrifices. im going to be sacrificing my time to help other people, and maybe wear stuff that isnt so confertable, but is neccesary for the work were doing. i could also be more adventurous and try new things that arent usually something i would do if it helps whatever where doing.

I think phil. 2:3 means that we should do things to help people and not just to make ourselves look good. We should do it willingly and do it becasue we want to and not just cause we have to.
The biggest sacrifice i have known people to make is missionsaries who go to a foriegn country. I just seen a movie about the five missionaries who sacrificed thier lives for the auca indians in the 1950's. That's one of the biggest sacrifices anyone could make.
Some of the sacrifices we will have to make in Boston are that we will be away from family and friends(not going on the trip) and give up our normal lifestyle.

I think that Philippians 2:3 means that when you do something such as work for another person that you shouldn't be doing it to make you feel better and to make you feel like a better person. But that you should do it for others and have it come from your heart, rather than for other selfish reasons.
I think that one of the biggest sacrifices that anyone has ever made would most defionatly be Jesus dying on the cross to wash away our sins. His love for others was strong that he was willing to give his life for them. I don't there has ever been a sacrifice bigger than that.
In Boston I would like to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people. I'm not always the type of person that will go up to someone and just introduce myself, mostly because of my shyness. But I would absolutly love to overcome that.
waz up u guys its me lil ash!! lol.. k that dont sound very good...
ok lets c here ummm...
phillpians 2:3 to me means that dont be conceted and slefish for yourself when others are in need think of the less fouranite and the needy..

I think Philippians 2:3 means that
when you do things don't be selfserving but instead think about
others and give the glory to God.
The biggest sacrifice I have seen
someone make is Jesus dying for
everyone's sins on the cross so we
didn't have to. He loves us so much
that he would take his own perfect
life and die for the whole worlds
sins. There is no other sacrafice
greater than this.
Some sacrifices I could make in
Bosten are if someone needs to talk
I could sit down and talk with them. I could also be very dilligent and hardworking and think
more about others needs.
Sacrifices I could make in the next
year would be to spend time in God's word everyday and pray for
wisdom everyday.

im a failure...mine is late :(
i think that phillipians 2:3 means that we should be humble towards others and in doing so then we will be pleasing yourself and also God
the biggest sacrifice that i have seen someone else make is ummmmmm.....im really sorry joel but nothing comes to mind right now
anyways...some sacrifices that i can make on the trip is if someone needs help with something then i will sacrifice my time to help them in anyway that i can.
so yeah
holy geeze guess what?!?!?!?
im listening to my favorite band...underoath!!!!
I think Phillipians 2:3 means that we should help someone or do something for them and want something in return. It also means that we need to helps others in need.
The biggest sacrifice i have seen would have to be the people in the war. You will see soldiers jumping on gernades and sacrificing their lives for thier friends and other soldiers.
Some sacrifices i could make on the Boston trip would to be humble and help out in any situation.

I think Phillipians 2:3 means that I need to not be proud and think that I'm the best, but to think that others can be better than me in a lot of areas. That doesn't mean that they are, but it means that I'm to think of them as better and for me not to be full of pride or to brag.
I think of Martin Luther King who stood up for what he believed was right and got killed for standing up for doing that. I also think of God because he sacrificed his only son to come to earth and then to die on the cross for our sins.
In Boston if I see someone who doesn't seem to have a friend, I could talk to them and friendly to them. Also if I have something that another person needs, I could give that thing to them. These are things I also could do during the next school year.

I think that Phillipians 2:3 means we should be humble and put others before our selves.
I think that the biggest sacrifice anyone has ever made for me would be jesus giving up his life for me.
I think that a sacrifice that we will have to make when we go to Boston is GOING to Boston, I say that because we will all have to leave our comfort zone to help others.

I think Philippians 2:3 means that we shouldn't do things for our benefit, but for the benefit of others because we should put others above ourselves. I think the biggest sacrifice someone has made would be what everyone else has already said; Jesus dying on the cross. No other sacrifice is bigger than this, but a big sacrifice I have seen is probably my uncle. He left his family and his home where he would be much more comfortable to be a minister in Iraq for the soldiers. I know it was hard for his family and I'm pretty sure it was hard for him too, but he went anyway. A sacrifice I think we all can make is the same one everyone has been saying, but I think it will be the hardest to do; stepping out of our comfort zones to help people we dont even know. I think I could use this for the trip and the future too.

to me phillipians2:3 means that we should be humble and put others before our sleves. this is an example of sacrifice because we are putting others above us and making them more importanr.i think and i know that it is hard to do this in my life but i always try my best. one of the biggest sacrifices i have seen is my mom when she isnt working she is driving me around to sports and other things like my friends or the mall. thats a huge sacrifice and she never puts herself before the family. she may not be at home all the time but when she is she is always here for me.
I think that Phillipians 2:3 simply means to be humble and put others before yourself.
The biggest sacrifice i've ever seen anybody make was my mom. Since I was born while she was still very young, she did not attend college because she had to stay home and care for me. This is a huge sacrifice because going to college could have meant a lot more opportunities for her, and she put her dreams aside to make my life the best it could be.
In Boston, I think one of the sacrifices we can make is to keep in perspective why we're there, and forget about ourselves, because we will only be fully successful if we can put the people we are serving first. We have to put our whole hearts, soul, and strength into serving them, because by doing that we are showing love to God (just as it says in Deutoronomy 6:5).

im sorry this is so late, i just got bakk 4m vacation.
anyways, i think phillipians 2:3 means sort of like, putting others needs b4 our wants, not forgetting to consider others before we get caught up in ourselves. the biggest sacrifice anyone has given i can think of would be when Jesus died on the cross for our sins, b/c he went through some crazystuff b4 he was even put on the cross, and died just for us. in boston i think i could sacrifice my time w/ friends so i could be more useful, and set a good example.
i think phillipians 2:3 means that when we do things for others or give something up that we shouldnt be seeking the glory that we'll get in the end,but we should be doing it in a humble way and not bragging it off of how good of a job we've done.that would be an example of sacrifice becuz we're giving up the rewards or our dreams or praise we couldve gotten if we didnt do it the way phillipians 2:3 says to.
the biggest sacrifice ive ever seen made was jesus dying on the cross for us.but other than that i cant think of anything else right now...
peace<3
