I love seeing how much I've accomplished.
I could add more goals for now, but that may be a bit ambitious... for now.


For many years I have not really given much thought into peoples' interpretations of my actions. I have not given much weight in how they view me, how they interpret what I say and do/ don't do. I am considerate of others and try to treat everyone with respect and (platonic) love. But I have not bothered to wonder whether people are interpreting, viewing me in the right way.

I have come to realize over the past few months (and definitely in the past few days) that peoples' views are incredibly different. Some people can't find a fault (how in error they are). Some can't place a finger on a fault, but know that it's there. Some invent faults that I may or may not have. Some ignore my strengths and focus on my faults. Some don't even give it that much thought - they don't care to search for my strengths or my faults.

This isn't coming across very articulately. What I basically am saying is that it's all subjective and all up to interpretation.

Maybe that's a good thing.

But in matters of love, it's incredibly frustrating.

In matters of the Gospel, thank goodness the only One whose judgment matters is a perfect judge.
