I'm Third

I was a Kanakuk kid for numerous summers.  Kanakuk is a pretty intense Christian athletic camp.  My friends and I considered it the best two weeks of our year, every year.  The Missouri Ozarks became a big part of my childhood through Kanakuk and I'm very thankful my parents sent me every summer.  I randomly ran across this video on youtube and it gave me chills.  I don't know if I read too far into things, but I like the thought that things happen for a reason.  I feel like recently, or for the last couple of months, I have been seeing answers to the hard questions about life I've been having in ordinary, but ironic things.  Radio songs, quotes people mention to me randomly, videos I come across on youtube when looking for something totally different...  I have started to think God is trying to tell me something and I also like to think my grandma is dropping subtle hints from Heaven :)  Anyway, Kanakuk's main message is "I'm Third".  It means that you should put God first, others second and yourself third.  I understood it back then, but I think just recently I have become mature enough to actually understand its true significance.  I see no point in being selfish.  How can I be any more important than someone else?  I'm reviving my "I'm Third" lifestyle for 2011 because I'm not sure if I have been living it 100% in the past.  So, since I didn't really make a New Year's resolution, I'm making one a little late; to be more "I'm Third" because everything is in such better perspective from third in line :)  Watch this video if you want to see what the magic of Kanakuk is all about, or if you want to relive some old memories...
