I haven't been on this blog much. But, I will make a habit to blog more often. Not because I will inspire others with great words of wisdom, but selfishly I need the accountability. As I have read over the blogs throughout the years, I could personally see my spiritual journey with Christ, times I was close with Him and times when I have drifted and tried to use worldly systems to survive. Gotta say, the world's ways promise great results. But, I have found more often than not, being left with buyer's remorse and empty promises. Just like Adam and Eve, I want to be like God! Make my own decisions, do what I want and in a rebellious way and still expect Him to "bless" me. So...

I asked God to work on the issue of pride in my life. Why would I ask Him to do that? WHY?
He has been faithful to answer that prayer. He has taken me down some paths that have left me desperate. Sometimes I have turned to Him and other times I have not.

The sin of Pride is like an Octopus. Once you think you have all of its tenaacles under control, one slips out and reminds you that humility is a tough thing to maintain. So, I praise Him for the struggles. I thank God that I am His workmanship created to glorify Him. That He created me to do good works to Glorify Him.
