"efficiency in personal interaction"

The title of this particular blog is taken from a book called 'Blue Like Jazz' by Donald Miller. We have been reading it in my Sunday school class these past months, and that one line(highlighted in my book)really stuck out to me as we read and discussed the chapter on community.
Through these past few years i have had the opportunity to live in community with other brothers and sisters in Christ. I lived in a slum hotel room with 3 amazing warrior women, I lived in a community apartment with about 16 other faithful friends, and now I live in another apartment with one roommate. All different, yet very much the same.
It hasn't mattered how many people I live with, whether we have a living room, kitchen, bathroom, or are all in one large room together, I have always desired to have "efficiency in personal interaction." What does this really mean? I'm set in my ways. I like things done my way. I'm obsessive compulsive. Anal(?). In other words, I'm very selfish. God has been showing me this as I go through this most recent stint of community living. Thankfully, He has been weeding out a lot of the selfish wants that I have for efficiency through these past 2 years and I have been able to come through this newest season much smoother - and without as many unnecessary, unhealthy words. I am thankful.
This doesn't mean that I am settled or stable. It means I'm ok, content, ready.
The Lord has been giving me warnings of things to come - not to mean things that will happen, but things that could happen - so that I can pray through them, for or against them. Some of what has taken place in my dreams has already come to fruition, and praise the Lord, prayers have been answered. Still there is more to pray through/for/against. Nervousness has set in somewhat. I'm praying against this!
Things are changing - good, bad - I don't know yet, to be honest. Only time will tell.

Blessings.

**addendum 1**
After posting this, I read over some of my most recent posts and received some revelation from God...
I have been wondering lately why all of a sudden I'm having, and remembering, so many dreams(obvious warnings). Well, I've been thinking about, reading about, writing about and talking about living an un-compromising life with Jesus for a very long time. Finally, about 2 years ago, I take the step of faith and slowly start leading this life, although not to complete fullness. Now is the time. He's showing me that now might be the time to step up and stepping up could cause me to be bashed down.
