Things Forgotten?

Questions always arise when I start a brand new school year.  What classes will I have the most work in?  How will my teachers be?  Where are my classes (seem to worry about this one the most)?  Who will I have/know in my classes (I worry about this one a lot too)?  The one thing I notice about all these questions when I take a quick look at them...they're all about me.  Have I really forgotten why I'm in the situation I'm in?  True, I'm there usually because my parents made me and I want a well paying job when I become an adult, but why has God put me in these classes with these people?  Did I ever stop to think that these are all people who desperately need to know who Christ is?  And if I'm worried about myself at this moment...what are the chances that I'm going to worry about their need? Their brokenness?  God has place us all in the situations we are in, with the people that we are with for one great purpose...to be that "little Christ" we are supposed to be.  Or have we forgotten that?  When I think about that title, it makes me change the way I think about my entire school day.  It makes me think about the things I say and how I act around others.  It's like what Freddy always said...Are we bringing clarity or confusion to Christianity?  As mirrors of Christ, are we dirty, so that Christ can't be clearly reflected in our lives, or are we clean, as to clearly reflect who Christ is?
