I spent my Thursday night/Friday babysitting. It was actually really awesome! My friend's aunt was having a scheduled C-section today, and since she and her husband were going to be leaving at 3:30am to get to the hospital, we were spending the night to watch the three little ones they have the next day.
I really can't complain. The kids honestly behaved really well, and we spent the kids' nap time watching That '70's Show! Nothing better ;)

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be attending a Master Class for piano with a Filipino pianist. I've decided I really don't want to do it. I was actually kind of psyched at first, but now my piece I'm supposed to perform really isn't that great, and I don't really feel like going. But it's just that luck that my mom isn't feeling so good and there's a good chance we won't be going! *cue Hallelujah Chorus*
So that sounds absolutely horrible. I don't want my mom to be sick, but it will play to my advantage if she doesn't feel too well tomorrow. Thinking about it, I thought of how extremely selfish that sounds. Which got me into even deeper thinking.
I believe that selfishness is the core cause of all sin. All sin. We sin because we're thinking of ourselves. If we were thinking about someone else (example: GOD), we would more than likely not be committing wrongful actions so often.
Unfortunately, we'll never be able to become totally unselfish creatures in this lifetime. We're human and it's in our nature to sin. We desire things for ourselves. We want things to better us.
Those few moments when we are able to almost completely empty ourselves of selfish motives are so precious. They're are amazingly rewarding. For those who do things completely for God's glory, blessings are bountiful.I wish there were more of those times in my life, but unfortunately they are very few.
I can't wait for the day when I'll never have to worry about my selfishness again.
Cheers♥
