Humility

I am going through a process of learning more humility.  I like knowing things, not to be better than anyone else, just to know I have the answer.  But I can imagine, and I do, that this comes across negatively.  The 'less is more' rule applies here... I need to speak less so that when I do, it will mean more.  This is a God-given work in progress.

... Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..  James 1:19

It is sometimes hard not to be proud when you have fought so hard to keep your son alive and healthy... I am proud this, of him, of my family and of how far he has come.  I am proud that it brought my husband and I closer to each other and to God.  I am proud of the trials we have faced and conquered.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  James 1:4

Know-it-all, bossy, blunt, rude... I have been called all of these things.  I am always trying to help, but I just need to be quiet and more supportive.  I hope persevere through this and become more mature in my faith and in this world.
