Humility

Went to a really good meeting this morning. It’s at 8:30 and I was 5 minutes late and had to sit on the floor. It was on humility.

For me humility is;
• Asking for help
• Accepting my humanness
• Not putting on airs
• Living honestly
• Not making things bigger than they are
• The opposite of ego

I am not good at humility. I like the flashy car and dressing to be noticed. This last year has been about stripping away my ego and leaving me as the soccer mom in the Volvo wagon with the smelly chocolate lab in the back. It’s about not trying so hard to be liked. You either like me or you don’t. I have no control over that. It’s like trying to get a drunk to not drink or a cheater to not cheat – that’s all way beyond my control. Besides, that’s god’s job.

I chatted with a girl after the meeting and agreed to be her sponsor. She’s super cute.

Then I went off and worked – drove to Bum F*** to get photos of a house. Then chatted w a kid about getting back on track with his loan.

It was gorgeous today. Bright and warm in the afternoon.

Rebel and I went for a long walk along Katy trail and then watched the sunset from a bluff overlooking Reverchon Park. We sat way up high in the trees and watched the red sun as it dipped behind the buildings in the distance. Then we walked back along Turtle Creek and Rebel had to go swimming – it’s a lab thing.

I worked for a few hours tonight and have an assignment due by 3pm tomorrow – but, I’ll finish that up after church tomorrow. Now it’s time to lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Amen and God Bless You.
