We went to watch The Terminal with Prov tonight. It woulda been a lot better had The Terminal not been so slow, but I did think it was a cute movie concept. Sean fell asleep because he was so tired. He missed ALL of the action. Oh well. I got to see my bro today. No, not my biological brother Carlos. I saw DJ. Das my boi. He's so cool. We go way back. I was really nice getting to see and talk to him in person. I was glad that he and Sean got the chance to meet and what not.
One thing God's been showing me...
I have been asking Him to point out my flaws and un-jesuslike qualities. The one God's been focusing on showing me is PRIDE. The way He shows it to me is in terms of my relationship. I am so slow to admit that I'm wrong and so quick to try to defend and argue my actions. I don't like to be made out as a bad person. Nobody does. What I fail to realize time and time again until after the fact is that if I would just admit I'm wrong in the first place instead of trying to protect my image things would pan out smoothly. That thing that urges me to protect myself and try to maintain my image as a "perfect" person is PRIDE. I have a big problem with that, and if I don't strive for humility, I will continue to be humbled. Actually, I will be humbled anyway, but it may be slightly less painful if I go down willingly. So that's where I am right now. I'm sure there is an infinite number of things wrong with me in addition to that, but it feels like that is the focus. It kinda sucks, but at least God sees me the way He knows I can be through Jesus. Thank Him for that.
