| ok, this is going to be an entry that's more serious than the ones i've written in the past half a year...this is the entry about time management. i recently read this blog on stuffchristianslike and i am guilty of being the 9-9 person who is now trying to transform into the 9-6. but it looks like it's too late. i guess maybe when i started my job 2 years ago, i figured i'd prove myself...work hard, impress, prove myself as being valuable, etc etc, but now i realize that no one really cares...people just want to go home at a reasonable hour to see their friends & family...and how better to do that than to push the work down to those that are "reliable"?
now that i want time outside of work to take classes, spend time w/ the people i care about, and figure out what God really wants me to do (b/c i'm pretty sure it's not to be an actuary), it's too late.
or...am i just feeling entitled now to wanting those things? like it's a selfish desire to want things now that i've served my time? i guess i've been working not for God, but for my reputation, my desire to be something great...my wanting to make a name for myself. i thought i was working for the glory of God the whole time...but now i realize that i don't even know how to do that.

| interesting article on Guarding Your Heart.i have a lot of thoughts on the christian dating experience...none of which i need to get into on my xanga, but i think this article is good at reminding us that "guarding our hearts" is biblically meant to guard us from sin and not from each other. to love is to make ourselves vulnerable, and no...it will not always come in the simplest, risk-free ways. so why do we keep expecting it to be easy?
