Another month, another blog. Leap day gives us an additional day to submit on time. Does this mean everyone will have their blog submitted in time? Probably not and that is because we are all humans. We miss the mark time and time again, failing to live up to our expectations, others expectations, and most importantly God’s directions. By the grace of God we are forgiven and free. We need to eliminate our expectations for ourselves and others, then remove ourselves from the daily or hourly courtroom of judgement, because only God’s judgement matters. We can free up so much emotional and physical real estate in our lives by changing this mindset. God has already judged us and given us grace so that we can share that grace with others and be a living example of his grace.
Living life this way is incredibly difficult, especially for myself as an enneagram one. I focus so much on being right and making sure others are right too that the world becomes black and white, right and wrong.
Fellows senioritis is upon us as we only have 2 months left *gasp*! Brad McGinity asked me what my goals are for finishing out the year and staying on track as Fellows is coming to an end. I hadn’t thought about this yet as I am still living day to day and failing to revisit my goals and objectives. I encourage everyone to take some time to think about what they want to accomplish this month, the next 6 months, this year, etc.
Also, don’t tell Ashley it is your birthday if you don’t want to be the center of attention.
