Yes, I want to see, but part of seeing is understanding that my regular way of perception is not seeing. Seeing, being able to perceive Truth, requires that I "see" or perceive things differently. This includes EVERYTHING in the material world, which will be the key to greater perception.
I sorta get that, and have been trying to be more aware of it all day.
Today was an interesting day; I was exhausted from yesterday (60+ students and 49 employees equals one very tired sister). Drinking coffee at 9 pm, even decaf, is not a good idea. So this morning I was tired and only marginally productive. Not good. I no longer have the luxury of having a non-productive, or even marginally productive, day. Thankfully I got a call from the City agency who provides our funding. Went downtown and signed three contracts, totally millions of dollars, and some extending over the next few years. Very nice.
Then I went to visit my boy Ravi. It's sad how we let ourselves get disconnected; Ravi's been in this apartment for two years and this is only the second time I've visited him. I stayed for a couple of hours and was reminded that time spent with friends is the most precious time there is.
Which was reinforced when I came home to find an ADORABLE birth announcement for Katherine Murray M, the child of B and E, and little sister of Luke. Oh, what a pretty little baby!!! Together, this family is BELK!
Last night I got frustrated and cancelled the Turbo option on my roadrunner service. Tonight was, I think, the first time I've ever been able to download an iTunes update without having to re-start it.
I've talked before about Brian's success; he's shared his secret with Ravi and perhaps one day I'll be able to pick up on this website/blog thing. In the meantime, I'm tagging the Top 100 Personal Finance blogs -- talking with Ravi tonite I realized that I need to be more intentional in this area. I'm doing ok, I guess, but a couple of years of unemployment or a major illness would nearly wipe me out. Prayerfully that will never happen, but it was, I think, Ben Franklin who said we should prepare for the worst but expect the best. That's what i need to do with my finances.
Above all else, I want to see things differently. Above all else, I want to see finances differently. Above all else, I want to see my friends differently. Above all else, I want to see differently.
