.pride

self-preoccupation and pride have been the thorn in my side during this sojourn. that's not to say that i was any less prideful before - just probably more numb to it. i was almost physically aching with the burden of knowing that i was unable to consider others better than myself. self-resolve had failed me. frustration overwhelmed me.
and i think that's exactly the place where He wanted me to come.
a place of resignation of control.
a place of surrender of power to change.
in that place that His almighty power to change a stubborn heart and control a wandering will can be supremely magnified.
