Yet the people who are always given the limelight are the ones who are willing to talk loudly and act confident. Humility gets overlooked almost every time.

It’s hard to know how to prepare kids for a world like that. To succeed they have to have “confidence” (toot their own horn), and yet the more intelligent (and Christian) way is humility.

I don’t know.

I do hate it when I’m too stupid to know that I’m stupid though. Except when it’s God letting me know that His ways are so far above my own understanding; that’s always a slightly bitter but mostly sweet learning.

Humility should be had by all since we are the creation and ALL glory is the Creator’s alone. Maybe we would be less blind to our uniqueness if we had confidence in our Creator to supply us with the gifts we need to do His will. Walking on water isn’t rocket science.
