Keep Yourself Humble!!

The biggest thing I really try and work on in my life is humility. Sure, I have alot going for me, and I could brag all day long about things, but that is NOT me, it's not how I am, I don't like talking about myself, or making a name for myself. I forever want to stay humble. I think one of my biggest fears is getting a haughty attitude, I'm just always self conscious of this as I've seen so many people in life who used to be humble, and now they have such big heads, I'm surprised they can fit in a room. In my life, I always strive, want to have, and keep a humble heart and attitude in all things. Jesus could have been the most stuck up person ever with all that he could do, but He was not. Jesus is the prime example of humility, and I am NOTHING without Him!! I learn this more and more with each passing day with things I deal with. 1 Pet. 5:5-6 "Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with HUMILITY toward one another, because, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the HUMBLE.' HUMBLE yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." My constant prayer is humility! I never want to be proud or boast about anything I do, because I'm only the person I am by God's blessings, not because of Jewels greatness. If you think you're "all that", just remember these words..."Pride cometh before a fall..." Have a blessed day!!

Overwhelmed!!

Whew! This month has been nuts! I am just overwhelmed and tired!! I feel like I've hardly had a moment alone to breathe! We have had so many gigs this month with 1WORD, which has been wonderful, but you know?? I REALLY don't like being so busy! If you know me, you know how much I just like to be HOME! Satan LOVES to use the "busy tool" as a tactic to keep us away from God! Trust me, it works, and I have felt so terrible not spending the alone time I need to with God recently because all I want to do when I get home is sleep. I don't know how you all feel, but for me?? I can tell my relationship is suffering with Him when I'm unable to just sit in a dark room with worship music, and pray to him. I NEED THIS!! We ALL should need it, but do we?? My life feels incomplete when I'm so distracted with work, running to and fro with gigs, trying to keep up with friends on email, and cell phones!! What must God think of us being SO distracted by so many stupid things, that we "forget" or don't have the time to spend with him? I guess I'm writing this blog feeling quite guilty for letting my relationship with him slip. I don't like NOT being close to God, and you shouldn't either! So it's time to step up my game, and get back on track with my Lord! Christmas is a wonderful time, but it's SO easy to get caught up in commercialism of it, parties, and everything else that we forget the REAL reason for the season!! We need to take time to thank God for giving us the best gift we could ever ask for this season! I pray you are able to find time to spend ALONE with God during this crazy month! It is SO important! Hope you all have a blessed day!!
