I have been sick

Hello All,

Sorry I did not send this out on Monday but I was ill with something that was not fun. I rarely get bed ridden and I was out all day on Sunday and Monday and most of Tuesday. I still am not 100% better but I am better than I was on Sunday that is for sure. Since I am rushing to get all the weekly stuff done this will be brief.

I am constantly reminded of the pride in my life and how I need to get rid of it and have humility. Isn't funny even when you think you have humility you start having a prideful humility. Before I was sick I was thinking how I am getting better at organizing things and God I think I can handle what I am doing and I start to get comfortable with everything. Then I become sick and I have to rely on other people for help. I know that God wants me to trust him and to let go of any pride I have. God is the one who fights for me, he is the one that has given me the ability to work and the ability to have air in my lungs. God is in control. When we start trusting ourselves pride enters into our lives. God is gracisous and merciful to us.

If we have any area of pride it must stop because it will tear us apart and limit how we are used by God.
