it all comes down to this.

i am a prideful person. i am selfish. i am lazy. i am generally irresponsible. this is nothing new. i've been pretty self-aware in these areas since my freshman year of college. what has changed since then? not nearly enough, sadly.

my roommate and i were discussing 'career options' late last night. we both realize we could be making about $5/hr. more than what we are, easily, doing the same if not less than what we do. we are both so grateful for the opportunity to work where we do. we know there is so much we take for granted or take advantage of. why? because we know we can, ultimately. the issue's been coming up a lot lately. considering other options ... wondering how to make the current situation better ... asking what i should be doing to improve personally and professionally.

i really wanted this final week of the lenten season to be significant and intentional. i need to prioritize better, but i also need to let God out of the little box i've put Him in lately. i need to let Him work, even when i'm least expecting Him to. it's not just as a result of my efforts that He will move in me or change things. thank goodness.
