Pride

Well it's been a while since I posted... Show season is finally over, probably one of the longest show seasons of my life, but also one of the best I've had! It's also my last day of school, well as a junior anyways, senior year baby! Not really worried about this test either so it's all good.

Today I flipped open to a Bible verse about pride... not the funnest topic for me... I know I probably should focus on it a bit more though. I am well aware that I can be a very self centered and prideful person. Heck, I usually am. I know what I'm good at and I flaunt it. I get cocky easily and blow things off. Major thing I should work on. Not saying that pride is a bad thing, if you've got talent, go for it and use it. You gotta show the world what you've got, but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed. The line of arrogance. Sometimes it does get to my head, knowing I'm good at a lot of what I do and then letting it take over and ending with people hating me. Trust me, I've got plenty of enemies. I really feel like I should start something new with the skills and talents I have, but do it in humility.

My friend Paul gave me some really good scripture a few days ago, in 1st Timothy, Paul called himself the worst of sinners, but he was also the greatest of missionaries. No matter how many times you've failed or how bad you think you are, you're always talented and good at something and you can always work for the glory of the Lord.

As for self centeredness- I'm working on it. I don't throw prima donna fits but I do love to take charge due to my talent. I love the feeling of being top dog. Now I've just got to learn to do so with humility and grace and not with my iron fist and whip. Gotta pray about it.
