Journey Day 300

Holy moly... only 65 more days left on this journey of mine!!! In honor of this, I will dedicate this post to a little bit o' honesty. I struggle with pride/selfishness... along with many other things, but lately these strongholds have been more evident than usual. Sometimes I think more highly of myself than I should, or I compare my relationship with God to other people's. I see my needs, and desire but sometimes I am blind to other people needs and desires! I was listening to the radio on my way home today and one of the deejay's said, "have a good weekend people and spend some time on yourself. Because I mean really, noone is more important than you." Those words hit me like a ton of bricks! What the heck!? Is that really what we believe these days. It doesn't matter what other people need... we're the only ones that matter? That is so messed up! And you know what? Sometimes thats the way I think. I act like I'm number one, and everyone else comes after me. What a screwed up attitude. The bible tells me to die to self and follow Christ. This includes dying to my own selfishness, and my own pride. I know this isn't something that will happen immediately, but will take time, prayer, and a completely surrendered heart. Part of seeing people through God's eyes means dropping your pride and your selfishness and replacing it with love, selflessness and optimism! So that is what I'm going to do!!!
