chris in real life
Current mood:
bored
"Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake". Thats the belief of some, myself included. When things happen we always want to know why.....why me? how could this happen to me? what have I done to deserve this? How selfish are we really? Lots of times i think(im done with capitalizing) that i may have done something. im starting to learn that its maybe not so much what i did but what did i forget? what is the lesson that God taught me that i somehow forgot and need to be taught again. stuff like pride, humility, gratitude, these things we need to be shown from time to time. its human nature to be prideful and in this world we live in where it is a "good" thing to be confident borderline cocky and to be out for ones self these lessons come in handy. i stay pretty humble most times but the fact that i just wrote it shows me i need work. the best definition of humble that i have seen comes from The Purpose Driven Life, "humble is not thinking less of ourselves, its thinking of ourselves less" an amazing thing happens when one is truly capable of surrenderring thier will to God and start to live for others, not people pleasing, thats a selfish thing, doing things for others and expect nothing in return, not even friendship....when i can stop putting chris number one and make myself useful to others there is a sense of peace and tranquility that i believe to be the grace of God and its pretty incredible how easy it is to access Gods unlimited power. there is allot of power in the words "i dont know", or "i need help" with these phrases i open myself up for a world of opportunity but it takes humility to get there...and God has a way of breaking even the most prideful, confident people. when you do get to the point where you are humble enough to let God take the wheel for a while enjoy the ride and take notes because it is inevitable that sooner or later your human instincts sneak back in and you once again will need to be taught another lesson in humility.bored
