Oi!

So today I was going to write a post about the fact that guys really might think I have cooties. Seriously, I was. And then... I watched the documentary "Lost Boys of Sudan". I am now trying to cope with the reality of my own selfishness.

I am at the moment a little overwhelmed with emotion, no tears, but the overwhelming feeling of, I really can be doing so much more! And reflecting on how easy it is to get comfortable where we are. I have been so concerned with work and school and dating, that I haven't taken the time to truly serve my fellow men in a long, long time. It makes me sad.

So, instead of letting this overwhelming feeling stay with me, I will ask for forgiveness from my Father in Heaven and ask for His help to increase my desire to serve. I said in a previous post, that I was excited my time was going to open up a lot more, so I think now is the time to serve more!

Also, because of the example of those amazing young men, I've realized that school and work are possible together. I want to trust in my ability to "blog" an income into existence, but I will also not, not be looking for an income makin' "real" job. And I've been thinking about choosing a career choice that is a little less selfish too... I've only been looking at a business degree as something that will benefit me and my family, but what if I re think it and find the best route that will help me to help the world? Not like I want to go global or anything, I just know that one person can make a difference, and why not try to be one of those "one persons"?

Do you see why this post is title Oi! Seriously. Oi!

On a final note. Today's life lesson has me hoping that, someday, I won't care if guys think I have cooties. I can be doing more with my life, serving and helping people, than caring what guys think.True dat? True dat.
