GUILTY! I feel so very guilty. My pride gets the best of me. I try to do things in my own strength. I look down on others. I do my best to earn affection and attention. I do it all, time and time again.
On the flip side, I recently took a trip to Michigan with the kids. I felt very brave and confident driving 1200 miles with the kids, by myself, twice. Before I even got to Lake City, I started realizing how foolish I was. I had no control over the mood of the kids, potential accidents, flat tires, car problems and so many other things. I started to fear. Fortunately, I had packed some sermons on CD to listen to while we drove. I listened to Mike Tiffany teach on grace. I realized that my day may go horribly wrong, but God was big enough to walk me through whatever might happen. I rested in God's grace for the entire trip and it was amazing. There were only a few crazy moments with the kids. I was spared from any crazy issues with the car. Best of all, my faith grew as I realized I did nothing to make the trip happen smoothly--it was God.
