So, after four days trapped in my home with a sick child, it has been very hard to not become self-centered again. I kept thinking about how hard this was on me...how bored I was...and of course, how hungry I was. Not only did I make rice crispy treats(for church picnic tomorrow), I ate enough "bad" food to make me feel guilty.
I spoke with several friends last week and was surprised at the response to my original blog. Each person has a different take on making a less self-centered approach to living life. My sister-in-law suggested throwing a block party for my neighbors. Unfortunately, that is something that already happens in my neighborhood! Another friend encouraged me to just be the best listener to those who cross my path, thus allowing them the privilege to talk and be heard. My small group helped me think of things that I am passionate about, which unfortunately wasn't much, at least off the top of my head, but I has me thinking about it.
All in all, this week has been disrupted by a change of health in my household, thankfully only for the short term. I am looking forward to church tomorrow, and being out of the house for more than an hour at a time. I was to get my mind back on track and thinking about what my goal is for this season, which is discovering a way to impact my community in a positive way. I need to combine it with something that I am passionate about....I am still thinking....who knows, maybe it will come to me while I lay awaiting sleep to come....
