Humble

I have a sweet little friend who has been battling pride lately. She just can't seem to see it....but everyone else sure can. Yet, when I read the blogs of my other friends in ministry...in Spain, Mexico, and other non US places I am amazed by the humbleness. They never really feel like the are accomplishing much. Yet, I am sitting on my couch watching the Disney channel and praying for these friends who are shifting nations. My little prideful friend can't understand when they say...am I doing anything? Have I done anything right...after all...the romance of "missions" is very euphoric. What happens when the romance wears off and all of a sudden you wake up face to face with the reality of the ministry you are married to. I know that when the rubber meets the road that you chose wisely. And you really are willing to give your life for your calling. My prideful little friend will be heading to on missions trip in 3 weeks...maybe? A few more years and I think she will have fought enough to be considered mature. Should be interesting to watch...at least better than Disney.
