"faith that rejects the idea that a person is worth more because of all that he has or has accomplished" "Sincere humility is inherently more attractive than overbearing egotism . . . Why not strive to live a life that produces that which is most beautiful?" i liked those parts a lot! amen! have a merry christmas! hey, that didn’t sound so bad!

That was something I had a long, long talk about with my mom last night. It's so painful when that happens, but... we grow. Thanks for sharing. It's always comforting to know that we don't ever struggle along, or for nothing. OH, GUESS WHAT. I went to Chik-fil-A today! :D “There will be times when God’s answer to prayer is a huge wrench in our plans, when our best laid plans, though “for God”, are laid to waste despite our most meticulous efforts.”

Suhweet. Re: your comment I agree with you, but it's just hard for me to figure out, sometimes, if something I feel strongly about is what 'my heart' is telling me to do (which is romantically idealistic, but not necessarily what I should be doing), or what God is telling me to do (which is necessary and right). I guess that's why, for now, I'm just trying to suck it up and continue working at it because, at this point, it probably wouldn't hurt as much if I were to finish school but end up with a degree that is worthless to me than if I were to drop out and then find that I needed that degree all along (although, I don't think the latter is as likely, but I guess that, additionally, a degree might be able to help further me along in ways that I didn't intend towards my real goal in life, if not towards an expected career). I'm not sure if that made any sense, or if it was really that related to your comment, haha. Re: your post It's interesting, the concept of humility. I don't think it's something that we can ever truly understand. Jesus told us to humble ourselves, and I think it's because we can't possibly BE humble. (Dude. Seriously, every time I talk about this stuff, I realize how pessimistic I must sound. I think I offend people sometimes...) But yea, it's definitely something that I need to work on, too. Hm.. WHEN DO YOU LEAVE FOR HOME? I'll be done with finals tomorrow at 4pm. Dude, you have a blog, too? Suhweet.
