Be Selfish
Welcome!
As I sit here comparing my life to my peers,which I shouldn't. I think well, I'm not married, I'm not a parent, I'm not in a committed relationship. I'm "old" why haven't any of these things happened for me yet. And then for whatever reason I think of my responsibilities.
Let's list them:
1. Me
2. ......?
That's it, Just ME!So what now, I'm my only responsibility! Next, I examine what my calling is and what I'm doing to carry that out.
Let's list a few things that I consider my calling or my purpose:
1. Worship
2. Children/teens (w/ & w/o special needs)
3. Helping (in general)
Here's my train of thought, as a single person with limited responsibilities, whose else is better suited to put their all into all of these things I listed above. I feel as a parent or married person you have other responsibilities or people to care for that need your attention.
So I've decided to stop comparing and honestly sometimes complaining, about the things I feel should be happening in my life. And instead focus on the opportunity I have to minister, volunteer, serve and live without hesitation!
I encourage other single 20/30 something's, to focus on what you can do in the meantime. Because once those things change; once you've had children, been married, etc, you're unable to drop everything and serve. Once you become connected to someone for the long haul you've got to take into consideration their schedule or their feelings. This is the perfect time to be selfish and do ALL the thing that YOU want to do, when you want to do them!
