“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2When looking at my current circumstances, there is little room for my pride to get in the way.
A good friend of mine said he'd pay me to deliver his coffee for him everyday during his lunch break - knowing that I've been trying to find a job all summer. He lives 5 miles away from me so the "job" takes about 25 minutes. However, upon returning home, I couldn't help but to feel humility overwhelming me.
I remember having a conversation with the same friend about finding a job. He said, "If you need a job that badly, you should be willing to work anywhere, despite inconveniences."
I've applied to at least 50+ places. If only I were done with school, many of these would've hired. I'll admit, it's discouraging. I admit, I cried when the two internships I set my heart on didn't work out. If money weren't the issue, I could be in New York right now pursuing my dream.
It was a blow to my pride, most definitely. Then I think, maybe this was God's way of telling me to be humble - to have more humility in my life. Good thing I have a personality to persevere through whatever trials are tossed in front of me.
Challenge me. I'll take you on.
