i've been thinking...
these challenge me:"there are no such things as mistakes on this [spiritual] journey, just learning opportunities. you won't always get it right, even supposing that you think you know what "right" is. but we are dealing with a loving and forgiving God, and the best way of learning is through making "mistakes." so take the journey seriously, but not too seriously." --henry morgan
"humility is facing the truth..." --esther de waal
"confession is nothing but humility in action." --mother teresa
"pride asserts, humility testifies. the proud want to seem what they are not. the one who gives testimony does not want to appear what he is not, but to love what, in the full sense, is." --augustine
"there is a beauty of soul in a humble person who has no other obvious talent than the humility to stand in awe of the gifts God has given to others." --joseph girzone

i worry about you so. i want you to be happy and now i'm watching you crash and burn -- only you don't know it. maybe you're the only one who doesn't know it. i'll be there to catch you when you fall but you have to do the falling on your own. and even then it's always your choice to get back up; as brandtson would say, "its the getting up that hurts." and it does, it does, but that doesn't mean its impossible.
i'm begging you: let yourself fall. there's nothing left to the way you're living and it kills me to watch.
you are so blind; it breaks my heart; i hate to see you this way.
