When Life Makes You Selfish
I am by nature prone to feeling that I can always do more, and service in the church is no exception. Back in high school, I was far more active in service than I am now. Sure I am busier now, but the bigger reason I do less now is my health. I've had 4 concussions in the last 14 months, which adds up to a lot of rest, a lot of time spent trying to remember things and regain my reading comprehension and basically get back to living. I've also been majorly affected by chronic fatigue, which is slowly improving but was a major hindrance for a while. I've blogged about the concussions before so I won't regurgitate about them here but I want to confess something as a result of those, my fatigue, and my general college craziness: My life made me selfish. I had to be (and still have to be sometimes) my own first priority. They tell you when you're concussed to rest but they never tell you that forcing yourself to rest means you're saying no to a lot of things.
