Selfishness

In the last few days I've really come to realise that I have not been the Christian I should be. I haven't been seeking God and his advice. I haven't supported my friends the best that I could. The other day, someone said, "She is the most selfish person you will ever meet." And as much as I wish I could blow it off, I can't. Do I really care only about myself? Is it really that bad that people point it out? I wish I could have rebuked them, but I couldn't. It made me look at myself, and my actions towards others. Am I the friend that I should be? Have I been there for them? Or have I only been concerned with myself? In all honesty, I can't help but believe them. I haven't been the friend that I should, or really the Christian that I should. As much as it hurts to be called out like that, I'm thankful. I don't want to be selfish. It's sad that it took them calling me out for me to realise it, but now I can fix it. The second commandment that Jesus gives us is to love our neighbor as ourselves. It's not always easy, but I need to really work on that. I know who I want to be, the kind of friend I want to be. Now, I just have to be it.

Dream BIG

In those hard times...

          Whenever school got really tough this semester, especially at the last couple weeks before finals, I felt like I could never get to where I wanted to be. I was so discouraged because of the intensity of my classes and everything else I needed to accomplish. I made this sign and posted on my wall, so whenever I got distracted from my books and studying I would see it. It helped me to keep going, that as long as I try my best, everything will work out. There's a plan for me, for my life. It's going to be an adventure trying to find it and stay with it, but it will all be worth it. God has plans to give me hope and a future. Knowing that, how can I stress so much? It's like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders, and it feels wonderful!
