"selfishness has been coming up a lot in my readings and my prayer and my discussions, and i think that that is the next beig movement to be made by God. "-Me, in a comment to a friend on her blog.
And as i was writing that, i began to realize how much i should be gaining from this. I don't need to be selfish, i'm not overly selfish as it is, but i'm sure i could be a little more selfless. We all could. If we all gave up a little bit, imagine the great whole that would create to be given to people who need it. Isn't it odd how "Whole" and "Hole" sound the same but are almost opposite words. God does have a sense of humor. That is the thing i'm going to be praying on now, the big thing, Selfless-ness. I'm going to pray for the entire world to become more selfless. This is me asking you to do that also, if we all pray for it, God will answer us in an amazing way. He just wants to know that we have faith in Him to take care of this stuff. That's why we pray, to show him that we have faith that it will be fufilled, if you don't have that faith, why pray. you're just wasting brain power.
So today Megan Graham told me that i was not judgmental, and that that's what she'd remember about me if i dided tomorrow. I don't know how she picked up on that, but it's really one of the things i strive for. I also got told that i'm honest in a world that doesn't support it. and that makes me very happy. Ben and Kathy are the ones that said that, and it makes me glad that they tink of me that way. I means i've been doing somthing right. The reason all of this was said was as a response to a question i posed for the sake of writing a paper for school. The Question: "If I died tomorrow, what is one positive thing that you'd remember about me, one impact that i'd made on you?"
I encorage you to ask this to those who are close, and even not so close, to you. The result could suprise you.
God Bless,
Love.

i know you really do love me, and i love you so much back. and im so proud of you. im so excited you got the job also. marry me?
k so now i actually went back and read that passage, early i was too distracted, and now i feel bad that i was distracted, because it made me really happy. though you being honest (and sometimes headstrong) is one of your most noticable qualities, you are definetely one of the most amazing people ive ever met. there are people its hard for you to love.. real hard.. and somehow you still manage not to despise them, and its encouraging because ive never had to struggle with not loving someone until this year, and i admire you for giving everyone a chance. i support you in your choices in life.
(thank you.)
aaand congratulations on the job!!! next time i'm in columbia i'm coming by so you can make me a latte!
i miss you.
