"To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness, and may very well be the greatest secret in this universe."
Please, let me be more beloved than bitterness.

Psalm 138
Second blog of the day.
Praise the Lord! I am THANKFUL for where I am today. I am THANKFUL for this situation, my heart, my mind, my soul. I know He's promised to be with me, to work in my life and change my heart into the likeness of Christ, so where I am today is GOOD. It's indicative that He is with me. And the fact that He is with me is indicative that this is intentional. It's all one big circle. And I praise the Lord!

Waking Up and Trying
Things I need to work on this year, even though it's already April:
1. I have GOT to be nicer to this one particular coworker who drives me nuts. She's not doing it on purpose and she doesn't mean any harm. There is no reason for me to avoid her the way I do, or keep my responses short the way I do. It's just her personality that rubs me the wrong way, clashes with mine, or simply annoys me. I have to be nice to her.
2. I have got to become a selfless person. Most-- in fact, EVERYTHING-- that I do stems from some self-serving motivation. Do I want to hang out with a friend? Yes, that would make me happy. Do I NOT want to hang out with a friend? Yes, that would not be fun for me. Do I want to take care of you, or do I just want you to want me? Do I want to serve in this particular area? I don't know-- would it serve my idea of service??
Lord help me.
