"It's all about me..."
Bryan Taylor and I always used to sing that. We changed the words from "It's all about you, Jesus" to "It's all about me, Jesus, that you should do things my way." I really do think like that sometimes. Sad, huh.
I have lived alone for a while now. I have a friend staying with me right now. She is moving out soon, and having her here has been good, especially during spring break cause usually I deal with people constantly in my job so I treasure coming home to no one, but now there are no people here so I just sit in my office alone all day and say hello a million times to the custodial folks. BUT... I wonder if by living alone I am preparing myself to never live with anyone comfortably again. Well, I picked up Blue Like Jazz and started reading chapter 15 "Community" is the title. Don Miller lived alone for a long time and then moved in with something like 5 guys. He said that when he lived alone he believed that life was a play about him and everyone else were characters whose parts were no larger than the lines that they shared with him. It took him a while to realize that it wasn't all about him. I need to remember that there is nothing more important than the people around me. And whenever I start to feel inconvenienced I just need to remember that YOU are more important than ME.
Kerri. I sent you a package in the mail today. I hope you like it.
I conducted a phone interview today. I am always so humbled when I hear the words "phone interview." It is because (my experience with a catheter excluded) the most humiliating experience in my life was in a phone interview exactly 2 years ago. You know... my mom was the only person who witnessed the catheter incident and she loves me unconditionally, so I think the phone interview actually takes the cake. I am going to make it my personal agenda to make sure that every person who is on the other end of a phone interview with me feels like I adore them. Those things are torture.
Nashville... 8 days! See ya there! Let's Par-tay!!!!
