Humbled

Hey guys,

For awhile now, I've been asking God to humble me. I was making many mistakes of my own, with no consequences. I felt I had to do something. So that's what I did: I prayed to God that somehow, someway, he would humble me. Then, last Wednesday, I fell on a longboard and partially dislocated and broke my hip socket.

Since I broke my hip, I've been thinking more and more about that, and how I felt I needed to be humbled. Not only has it (being humbled) helped me out in some ways of my private life, I already feel that it has made me a better man in my public one. I feel loved, and in turn, I plan on returning the favor. There's so many things that I wish to share with people now, along with trying to help them discover their own faults, and FIX them.

And I have been humbled in the smallest of ways. Things I took for granted like, walking, or even going to the bathroom, now are the hardest events of my day. To have trouble even getting up to go to the restroom, is something all of us never want to experience. But I have. And it is slowly making me a better man.

I know something like this is hard to grasp: that I'd even be thankful for falling and breaking my hip so badly. But it is now part of me, and part of my story. And I thank God each and every day that I have been humbled, even if it has brought me pain I've never had to live with. I hope I'll be a better man for it.

Mark 11:24 - "Have faith that whatever you ask for in your prayers is already granted you, and you will find that it will be."
