Pride is such an aggregate conclusion
I was sitting in my car today and I realized that so many of my emotions are fabricated by my pride. I view situations with perspectives that are skewed by my transparent sense of pride and it produces my reactions.
That's something I really want to take more notice of. Analyze the motives of my reactions.
I know it's not right to live in pride. To have assurance and respect for yourself is necessary, but when I take a situation, an emotion, a reaction, and I seriously check myself and find that it really is pride that's driving the outcome--I need to change my heart.

So It's been a little while
So it's been a while since I've blogged. Life over here has been crazy with finals, my new job at Apple, and friends. I will say this though-- I have once again seen the truth in my realization that the more I journal, the more I am in the word OR (in my case recently) the less I journal, the less I'm reading the bible.
But a quick update:
Life has been way good and God's been blessing me like crazy. I finished finals on Thursday last week so that's been awesome and they went really good! I am working at the Apple store in the mall here in town so I'm loving that, way cool people and fun atmosphere. Totally was an awesome little story how I pulled the job. I fully believe that I'm there for a reason and I LOVE that!
but I really have missed the time that I was devoting to journaling. I'm writing this as a stated commitment to continue to update this blog with things that I discover and uncover throughout my life. Though the constancy may not be on a day to day basis, I want to continue my growth and the express what I am learning on here. that's why I'm doing this blog.
hey and I truly appreciate you for reading this. I know what it's like to read something and think, "why should I care." But my hope is that things that I go through and blog about will be points of relation for me and you. something that you read will be applicable to your life and/or reading my thoughts will spark your own questions or thoughts.
On that note-- if there's anything that you have a question about or that you are curious, I would love to receive an e-mail from you!
