13 O W D O W N [because im not] On My Own

proverbs 12:6-11
pride is a dangerous animal. this school year in particular, you could say that ive gotten used to getting what i want from people--in the best of ways and with the politest manners of course, but im still the type-A ish personality thats determined to have it my way in the end even if it takes some manipulating to get there. and that can be bad if i dont ever back down, mostly when im in a new place where its seen as too aggressive or if i break rules to get something. its the fault of pride flawing my judgment and making me believe ill get what i want in the end :3

but God says that its better to be nobody and have a servant than to be sombody begging for food. better to have humility but get what you want, then to be arrogant about yourself and yet repulse everyone by that very manner and get no where.

so even though i may have scored a million dollar opportunity to shadow in the operating room and watch incredible surgeries, shhhhh. no need to tell the world. be humble about it. dont tag that photo excesively. i will proceed to post with utmost trepidation and care. 

besides, none of this was my doing. i owe everything to the Lord. to him i bow down in gratitude, for it is not because of anything i specifically did that ive gotten to this point today. no, these kind of doors dont open on their own.
