I don't know what it is about someone forgetting your name that makes you wonder about everything you've ever done...or what you haven't done. Even though I don't know the person very well, it makes me think that I didn't leave a big enough impression on him for him to remember my name. What's up with that?
It made me think about how many other people I've met in my life and how many more of them won't remember my name. Is it because I haven't left a big enough impression? Or is it because they have a terrible memory? Either way, I need to devise a way to make sure that this never happens again.
It's part of the treasure principle, I think. How will you be remembered? In my obituary, I don't want to be remembered by how many boyfriends I went through in a single year of high school or how many straight-A years of school I had. I want my defining characteristic to be Jesus Christ. Obviously, I epically fail at this sometimes. I am now determined not to fail at it anymore.
Romans 12:2
Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God.
