Pride

This past weeks Bible study material covered a lot about pride and how it was the downfall of a lot of people.  It challenged me to find the pride in my life and deal with it.  At first, my thought was that I don't really struggle with pride (which made me wonder if that was pride in and of itself).  But the more I thought, prayed, and spent some time dwelling on this thought the more I realized that I do actually struggle with pride, just in a way I have never considered.  You see, in my Christian life, during the good times when everything is going my way, I tend to not worry so much about praying or having a quiet time because I don't "need" it, but in thinking that way, i'm being prideful.  How, you may ask?  Well once the bad times go away and everything is going fine, I take control back from God, basically telling him "I've got this now, thanks".  When really what I should be doing is being on my face before him, humbly thanking him for blessing me and giving him all the honor and glory for bringing the good times.  Not flaunting my blessings like its something I earned or deserved, because I don't!  But HE does!

Hopefully a humbling thought :)

In wedding news, our first wedding shower is in three weeks (first weekend in April).  We're having four and they're all in a row.  So it's going to be a busy month but should be lots of fun!  Three out of four of them will be couple's showers which will be really nice since I don't like being the center of attention!  Also, we are closing on our house on March 31st!  I'm so excited!  Although, I am quite jealous that Eric gets to live there first but it would be really impractical for him to also be renting his apartment after we close.  (I did come up with the idea of him staying with his parents for two months.  He didn't really go for that idea lol)

As for no facebook, its going well.  After like day 2, I stopped missing it.  My awesome Brandi friend keeps me updated with any important news which so far has been about people getting hurt or other such stuff :(

In other news

• I miss my best friend A LOT.  
• I'm excited to take engagement pictures this weekend
• I'm getting married in 13 weeks, 4 days, and 15 hours (call me pathetic, I call it excited)
• I love kids.  I've been responsible for anywhere from 1 to 5 kids every day for like the last two or three weeks and although it has been very tiring (mostly because they keep getting me sick), I love it!  They bring joy, laughter, learning, and excitement into my life and it's always something adventurous and new.  I had one today come up and tell me in her sweet, soft, i-just-woke-up voice "i love you chelle". I almost broke down crying it was so sweet.  Can't wait to have my own some day!  (please catch the some day there and don't try and rush us, k thanks :)
• We updated our registries last weekend which can be found at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
• I like lists :)
