I've been soooo absorbed in myself. My life, my weight, my future, my grades, my money, my space, my thoughts, my time, my flaws... even my God. Today I finally realize where my focus has been off, and it's that I haven't been thinking of things and people as groups. I've been thinking how to get closer to my God, when it should have been to our God. I've been thinking too much about how I can live a better life, and none about how we can live a better life.

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
- 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

I am only a part, albeit an important one, and I need many others as parts to form our spiritual body.
