Work.

I met one of the sweetest ladies today who was so interested in my mission trip. I was touched. If you're reading this, HELLO!! :-D

I also saw someone that I went to church with a few years ago, and I saw his wife. HELLO, YOU TWO!! :-D

There are a lot of things that are aggravating me at work. I could go on for days about everything, but I'm not going to do that. I don't want to. I mean, I want to, but I don't...if that makes any sense at all.... I've been trying to figure out how I can make all of these negatives look differently and make them positives. I need some patience.

I guess that's what I'm really needing right now: patience. I'm really running low on patience with people. All KINDS of people that I run into on a daily basis aggravate me...and it's a matter of patience. I need to shut up and toughen up, really.
Be kind, deal with it, move on.
Be kind, deal with it, move on.
Be kind, deal with it, move on....

And...I don't want to be a wuss in these kinds of situations. I don't want the opinions of others to bother me as much as they do. I don't want to search for complements like I do (at least, I feel like I search for complements). I don't want to annoy people with my self-consciousness. I don't want people to feel as if they need to check up on me and work to be sensitive around me.

There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many reasons why I think that England is going to be good for me. I think God has A LOT of good in store for me. It's going to be an extremely hard year, but it's going to have so many good things come from it. I'm excited about this year because it's going to be filled with new experiences and I know that I will be a better person for it, though I don't know how I'm going to be a better person. I'm nervous...borderline scared...of the process of changing and growing, though.

God has been a force in my life thus far...He's not going to just up and leave during this time when I serve Him and obey Him....
