But God is with you, so you are not on your own.

*nods* Exactly.
I guess this is less a prayer and more a reminder to myself - I can't do it on my own. And as long as I try to insist I can, that's tantamount to me rejecting God's help, and pushing God away.

I think I just finally realize why pride is a sin. It's not the kind of pride that feels content with accomplishment or a job well done, but the kind of pride that thinks that I am solely responsible for my life and my accomplishments. If I believe that, I will always be struggling, always ignoring god at my shoulder, the hand that's held out to me always.

It may have taken me a long time, but I'm getting there. With God's help.

Build a foundation for yourself and you'll outlast the toughest tremors, winds and waves. Success is rewarded to those who are ready for it.

We should talk.

i find myself thinking this more and more lately, myself.

God, in his own strange and quiet way, has reasserted Himself in my life recently. if there is any possible way to make right from wrong, He can. funny, that--and yet there it is. love over judgment. how could i have thought it could be any other way?

we are none of us on our own.

Yes.



It takes some people a lifetime to realize that. Some never do. It's a good place to be.

I needed that reminder today, too. Thank you.

Like your dear one says to me.

Keep him close.




(I replied "it's scary." he said "keep him close.")
