The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility. proverbs 15:33
God knows how to speak to me. He knows exactly what goes straight to my heart. Lately He has called me into humility. The only place where I can serve him fully and no longer rely on myself, humility.
In a recent prayer session, a couple of my race family member,
(girls on my squad), prayed for more humility for me. I remember
Crystal looking into my eyes and reminding me what comes with asking
the Lord to be humbled. I am sure stripping me of pride that I have
lived with my whole life comes with a price.
So, being aware of the people and circumstances that God is using to humble me I am seeing trials, internal battles, and tough relationships in a different light. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to go into St. Aldens. It is a cute little English town near Harpenden, which is where we are staying until we move to downtown London on Monday morning.
In the early afternoon, we went searching for one of the oldest cathedrals in the UK. We never found it. But we did find another beautiful cathedral. What is interesting is that I was more interested in the prayer wall inside. I was humbled by all of the requests and desperate cries. I was humbled by all the prayers of thanksgiving. I am humbled in realizing that people walk around with all of these burning questions, requests, and prayers. I just wanted to share a very few of them with you.
I also wanted to give you the opportunity to put your requests on my wall. Instead of a comment just write to God. present your thoughts to Him. Then take a second to reflect on the others. Feel free to lift someone in prayer.
