So I missed one, big woop [2.25.09]

Yesterday we played bball, went to an outlet mall, and chilled in Orlando.
Today we went to Universal Studios + Island of Adventure.
No laptops, therefore no blogging.

Topics for today: Pride & God's blessings

1. Pride is really hard to deal with. You know those situations, where you kinda sorta did something right and you want the whole world to know about it (or at least ONE other person) because you want the world to know how awesome you are? Well, I have those moments often.

Man! (that's right, I pulled out the exclamation point) It's so hard to keep it in! To be the only [mortal] one to know tears at the very fibers that are holding my lips together. Maybe that's what my significant other is for. Maybe it's not pride to share with her? Lol. If that's the case, she might be listening A LOT. hahaha.

To not long for acknowledgment is such an ideal quest. Yet it's what being a Christian requires, to live for His glory and acknowledgment, not mine. For someone who thirsts for attention and acknowledgment as much as I do, this is one aspect of what it means to die to oneself.

2. God sure knows how to time His blessings. To bless me at a time where I can better understand the gravity of the blessing, a time where I can be more grateful. And I have no reserves when it comes to blessings. I'm selfish, I'll suck at the blessing for everything it's worth. I also realized that when He is blessing me, it's my duty to make sure NOTHING gets in the way of me fully relishing and savoring His blessing. Not my circumstances, nor my pride.

And then the next course of action is to PTL and then pay it forward.
