This Post Took Some Humility (my best quality)

Sometimes I pretend that I know it all.

Yes, I know how to change the oil in my car.

Yep, I sure do know how to get the static out of my hair.

Of course I can answer any question about Christianity.

Pa-ha!

Truthfully, I am not the most humble person I’ve ever met.

I often take pictures of myself with my built-in webcam. Dell made it so easy!

I do not post them on Facebook, thank you very much. That get’s annoying. Can I get a hallelujah?

I swear I was going somewhere with this post…

Like I was saying, I am not the most humble person, which translates into another endearing trait of mine: I am never wrong. And also, I know how to do everything.

Except, a few days ago I was having a rather deep conversation with my dad about faith and honestly, I didn’t have an answer for his questions.

And I hated that.

AND THEN (I’m getting worked up) I was reading through 1 Peter last night and got to a verse that didn’t make sense to me.

I re-read it three times in an effort to understand. Finally, I was defeated and had to open my ESV study Bible to look for the answer.

As usual, the good ole’ ESV provided the answers I was looking for, but my arrogant self was upset that I didn’t just know.

But I got the message loud and clear. I need to study more.

Knowledge of The Word only comes from studying it and searching for answers when I don’t understand.

That’s what I get for praying for humility.

GPOY!
