Prunin' pride

I am daily being renewed because His mercies are new everyday. I'm so thankful for the road He has allowed me to travel thus far and I'm excited to continue traveling it. Im thankful that God allows me to wrestle with things on my heart-To be honest He's showing me how prideful and judgmental I am, how most of the time I am quite the opposite of Philippians 2 which says to be humble and consider others first. Sure it's easy to do that in africa or Haiti but what about in daily life and in my family? It rarely is so...why?
I pray God would continue to refine me and make me lower so that He is made higher and greater!
I want to be like a servant in all aspects of life not just on mission trips...
Jesus rid me of myself!! In john15 he says I'm already clean yet he still prunes me-oh I pray to be so pruned and cut back so that I can grow more and be fruitful. Let my pride be pruned!!
I desire to be less. i desire more of jesus. I pray to be emptied yet overflowing with the flaming love of Jesus.
I get to go to Swaziland not to necessarily teach or change the world but to love and to learn from them!

So as God continues to prune me and prepare me pray that I be willing, patient and still.
