A narcissistic love story

This week has been a good yet tiresome week. I haven't been sleeping at night real good...Why? I don't know. Maybe it's my working schedule on the weekends. I talked to Wiley last night and we made some great narcissistic yet realistic plans that will make us famous and rich! I am so excited. She, Gary and I are "THE ONE" and we are going to be great in the near future. She also gave me some great news about next weekend...... So everything is looking up right now. This semester is so different from last semester. Last semester, I had like 18.5 credits and I was so swamped and sad and....Sad. But this semester, I have 17 credits and I don't feel swamped. I may be swamped, but I don't feel it. I feel as if I can control this situation.
The New Living Translation interprets Philippians 3:13 as "No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead!" Bible Class on Wednesday was good! Bishop Tyler taught about closing the door behind us after salvation. He posed the question, "Why do we hold on to things that are old and no good for us when God has something better for us?" That was the same issue I was dealing with when I was trying to get over 'you-know-who'. I felt like I couldn't do any better (then there is my narcissistic behavior in wanting prestige and power). Now that I understand my behavior, I know I can control what and why I feel. And I can stop living in the past (as if it was so great!) and know that God is in control and that He has a great plan for my life.
