Just because it's working right now doesn't mean I have total control over it. Keep it where it is, don't let it change unless it's for the better.
I met up with a friend today that I haven't really talked to all term. It was really good. I had a gift certificate to this Indian place in the middle of nowhere and the food was really tasty. I am usually not a big fan of Indian food outside of tandoori chicken, samosas, curry, and butter chicken, but today I decided to try something new. It turned out to be a pretty good choice though. I had vegetable thali, which was just pretty much a "sample platter" of a few vegetable dishes with rice and nan. The restaurant was a bit pricey and the decor was very homey. It was worth it. I ended up paying $10 for both of our meals. We had good conversation despite the fact that I didn't know this person very well. I like how I was able to open up and share. =)
Proverbs 11 emphasizes the differences between the wicked and the righteous. I read it and verses 2 and 21 really come to remind me of the incident that I previously talked about.
I had to put behind my hateful thoughts towards the person who took my money, and realize Proverbs 21, which says,

Proverbs 2 says, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
This is like when I was checking out at the grocery store, I thought that I was being really efficient with the self-checkout, knowing how it worked and quickly getting my purchases done so that the people in line could use it. But while I was thinking so highly of myself (as being so pro at using the self-checkout), I left my cash back behind. =( Talk about humility. Then I had to humble myself before I could see God's love for me.I had to put behind my hateful thoughts towards the person who took my money, and realize Proverbs 21, which says,
"Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free."
Yup, what a relief. One less thing to burden myself with, and hatred is a very heavy thing. Ever since that experience, I'm quite sure I will be remembering this for a while.
