It's amazing how much more you learn when you are focused on helping other people than when you are trying to find answers for yourself.

All my life, I have been the one leaving. I have never once had someone leave me. I leave too much for that. I've been at Kingsway for three years, which is a record, and now I am being left. Being left sucks. I've never been to bothered by my leaving, but I'm not dealing quite as well with this. I'm selfish. Sorry.

I never thought I'd let anything get so complicated. I never thought it could all change so quickly. Maybe it wasn't quick and I just pushed it far away until now, because I thought it'd be easier that way. Bad idea.

I would like us, speaking of humanity in general, to have eyes of unfailing love. I think that's where we mostly fall short of godliness.

I recently discovered that we are not that little anymore. In not very long, we'll all be gone from Kingsway.

This week, at least, I'm trying to look at the big picture. The big picture meaning as large as it could possibly get. I don't do that much. I like to figure out the little things. I need to trust God with them more often.

This has not been my month. I am glad that tomorrow is its last day. Maybe I'll gain hope for next month. Unfortunately, the broken ankle and end of the marking period don't bring much ( Read more... )
