This struck me this morning. A lesson, or rather a song, on humility. . . living like Jesus means learning to be humble.
This week has held several firsts, but yesterday's first was the hardest.
I didn't know what to say, what to talk about. It was easiest to just say hi and leave it at that. I wish I could have been humble enough to admit that, yes this is awkward, but also silly. I wish I would have been humble but not so shy or scared.
I failed at being humble enough to recognize that there is another person involved in this, probably with his own uncertainties and hurts.
There's reasons, there's excuses, but it's time for me to, once again, give this burden to Jesus and let Him hold it and take care of it.
Things will get worked out. I know they will. He is Gracious beyond my awkwardness, Loving beyond my shyness, and Faithful my lack of humility. One day it will make sense; one day it will bring Him glory.

What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
