I Have Come to the Realization...

Life is not about me.
I know, crazy right?
But seriously...I really need to instill that into my brain as much as possible.
One of my good friends was kind enough to bring that to my attention when I was voicing my fear of getting a drama queen as a roommate next year.
I'm actually quite thankful for his directness.
In the past few days I have really noticed how selfish I am.
Even in yesterday's post.
All I was concerned about at the moment was how my parents' move was going to impact ME.
I wasn't thinking about all the lives that will be changed because of their step of faith to help out in this church plant.

SO...
If I could get as many people as possible to tell me every day that LIFE IS NOT ABOUT ME, that would seriously be fantastic.
I need to work on being way more selfless and not being as concerned about how things will affect my life.

ANOTHER THING...
The Lord is amazing.
Yesterday I got the chance to bask in His greatness on the 360 overlook. I had the chance to just talk to Him without any distractions. I gave some things to Him that I am completely putting into His hands (college plans, relationships, etc.). It was very freeing. I'm completely determined to start walking by faith and truly believing that the Lord has complete control over everything.

I can't wait to see what is waiting ahead :)
