Let's Get the Thoughts Out

I spent most of Thursday running around doing everything for everybody else.  I have 4 papers due - not "had" because I still haven't completed them.  But that seems to be the least of my worries. Although running around like a chicken with my head cut off stresses me to the max, I believe it was time well spent.  When I do for others, I'm doing for Christ.  Col 3:23: Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."  I come to that time where I feel like I'm "owed" something because I've given of myself.  I never get that payment, and when I start feeling that way, God reminds me of this verse.  So I'm working on putting away my selfishness. I'm working on not taking things so personal (yeah that one's going to take a while).  I am surrounded by people who make me happy.  This past week has been filled with a lot of joyous moments, a lot of relief, and a lot of inspiration.  So I don't need the satisfaction of anything other than doing work that pleases my Lord.  Yep, it feels good to write this down!
