Hi Brothers and Sisters,

How've we all been? I know for me, it's getting a little tougher. Especially with direction in my life. But all's well, I guess. Need prayer that God will show me a clear path and that my eyes would be opened to see that path He has for me.

Was just thinking back when I was still in kid's kingdom, how my aunt Cynthia (some of y'all might know her) would ask me if I wanted to be a christian and I'd always say yes!! And she'd ask why.

My reply would always be, "Because I want to be humble." I had no clue what being humble was all about. haha. Since then, it has been my dream and it inspires me to know that God gave me that vision even when I didn'tunderstand it. But now I do. I'm glad I held onto that child-like dream.

I'm gonna share something about humility that I've grown to understand and appreciate the difficulty of attaining.

Deuteronomy 8:3
"Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."

Been reading quite a lot on humility on top of the NT readings. Just to give my QT a little more flavour.

This passage really taught me the simplicity of the term, 'we do not live by bread a lone.' I've even sung it in songs so many times. (Man shall not live my bread alone.... But by every word~~)

God gave them just enough to live with so that they would understand the greatness of Him. When I got that insight, I immediately thought about the many great worldly things that we have. They all distract us from God. Being humble is also about living our lives free of distractions, so that we can fully absorb the greatness of God and live by Him.

Proverbs 11:2
"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."

With humility comes wisdom. My two loves that I want to aquire, all in one simple sentence. I feel like, in situations when I've been humble in accepting advice and accepting other's view of me, I'm calmer and I actually make wiser decisions. And at that point I really see myself becoming the woman God wants me to be. Don't ask me how I know... You just do.

I'll leave you guys with that.

Love you all dearly =)
