humility

in some ways i can be humble...
really.

but i realize more and more, especially lately, that i am incredibly proud.

i want to be humble like Jesus.

i want to be so humble that i don't have secrets.
so humble that i'm excited to proclaim every embarrassing fact about myself,
every stupid thing i do.
so humble that i don't get embarrassed.

i want to be so humble that i never think of myself as the best at anything.
and so humble that i would never take the time to pity myself for being bad at anything.

i want to be so humble that i can truly love other people.

i want to be so humble that i don't have to argue.
so humble that other people aren't able to upset me.

i want to be so humble that i never complain.
so humble that i never gripe about Georgia Tech.

i want to be so humble that i rejoice at the opportunity to let others help me in my weaknesses.

i want to be so humble that i truly acknowledge only God satisfies.
only God is worthy.

i want to be so humble that i would be a servant.
so humble that getting out of bed in the morning isn't a fight.

i want to be so humble that i always use my time for others before i take time for myself.

i want to be so humble that other people notice when they first meet me...
and so humble that i don't ever think that.

I struggle with being humble.
It hits me especially as far as
being on a stage. I wonder like
how does someone be humble when their
up on a stage?
