Hey you guys! (haha unintended Electric Company reference
) so I've been praying, reading and thinking a lot lately about meekness and just kind of considering how valuable it is. I'm not trying to sound preachy or anything, but I feel like as teenagers we kind of struggle with being too self-centered and arrogant, and it can really kind of prevent you from having a super close-knit relationship with God. I get frustrated with myself so often looking at myself in the mirror too much, subtly either complimenting or criticizing what's there, and now I have to admit I'm ashamed of doing that. I keep telling myself in my head that inner beauty is what really matters with God, and that people look at the outward appearance and the Lord looks at the heart, but it can kind of be hard to remember with all the awkwardness and self-consciousness we feel at our age, with our hormones running high and all. I just wanted to know what you guys thought about this, and if this has been a problem for you as well, and I've decided to work on being more humble so God can speak through me even more and I can serve others more. I just though we could kind of chat about it, and I case you're wondering I'm not super-duper self absorbed lol, I just feel like I can try to be a little more in control of myself and not as loud or sarcastic, I often use sarcasm for humor but unless it's used in some way that could kinda teach somebody a lesson (like Blimey Cow or something), I want to season my words with salt and let them be full of grace. Soo hehe yeah, does anybody else feel like talking about humility?
