Something I've realized recently is that I've been living an extremely selfish life for the past few months. I know I continually have ups and downs in this regard, but this has been a rather long drought. I'm an Assistant Resident Director at a college, and am supposed to be there for the residents, to care for them, to be a mentor, to assist them, etc.

It seems like I've been part of a clique, and that I haven't been reaching out much to those outside of it. I rarely ask how people are doing, and when I do, I don't genuinely care about their answer. I've been a shallow friend in many ways. This is something I've been convicted about, and the last few days I've been making a real effort to have some deeper conversations with people, to see how they're really doing underneath the surface. And I've loved it! God works in amazing ways, and I'm glad that He brought this issue to my attention.

I've started memorizing a fair amount of Scripture lately, and yesterday I memorized Philippians 2:1-4, which pertains to the issue in this post.
