i have a meeting in 10 minutes for my management case study group.
today has been a long, tiring, dull, somewhat crappy day to be quite honest.
my morning didn't start off to well, and my afternoon wasn't much better. on the positive side, pascal told us this morning that we wouldn't be having any more water aerobics classes this semester, so that was nice because it gives me more time in the mornings for work and study, and also lets me take a long shower, which i sure can't complain about.
i am trying to learn how to balance friendships and not get walked on, an interesting concept.
i know that we are supposed to be totally giving, selfless, patient, and kind to everyone, but on days like today, i feel like the only time i'm needed is when i can be of service and that hurts my feelings. i've struggled with this before and tried to figure out if Jesus was walked on, and i guess he definitely was. i know it probably sounds ignorant that i don't know these things, but i am really looking for the right answers.
let me know if you have any insight into this, because it's a pattern in my life, so i know something needs to change.

i think Jesus always looked out for the other's best interest, as far as in what they needed to hear/do to connect with God.
That's tough for us because we don't really know that. So I guess the only way to know is to ask God.
dude we most def can get walked on...b/c as humans its not natural for us to be completely selfless all the time. we need some reward too it seems. where is our thankyou? etc. it's hard learning how to deal with that!
thank you so much, heather. that entry was in no way about you or anyone else "forgetting" about me, but i really do appreciate it anyway.
i definitely agree that life gets so crazy you forget about others. it's just what melinda was saying about how it's so hard to still find time to just sit down and listen sometimes when you're so consumed with the same schedules everyday, trying to cram everything in.
i will say that i do miss time with you and shannon, and that next semester, we will get together more often as well as continue the hair dying experiments. :)
(too bad i can't just make that time up in NYC....haha)
