Humbleness

Me. 16. The cousins I was hanging out with: 20-22. It's not that much of an age gap--not much at all. One of the best things that ever happened with them: a cousin telling another cousin how humble I am.

I guess I'm not so humble now, because I'm boasting about it in front of everyone who reads this... haha.. But just knowing that someone can actually think of me as humble almost brought tears to my eyes.

If anything, I've always thought of myself as selfish. Always wanting these high-tech things, wanting to do all sorts of crazy junk, never really considering how my actions will affect other people.

I've grown. A lot. I know it. I feel it. I'm transforming into a better person, someone I've always wanted to be. Someone I can be proud of and not be ashamed of. Me. At 16. Praise God.

I was speaking to a girl I met at work last Thursday. She thought I was her age. She was entering college. She was so shocked when I told her I was 16. She said she thought I was 18 because of the way I talked, the way I communicated with her and other people. Strange as it sounds, it's not the first time this happened. People say I'm very mature for my age, but a lot of times, I doubt their words.

I'm not growing up too fast, I'm not growing slow nor have I remained stagnent. I'm growing responsibly, with morals, values, faith and love. The love from my parents, my siblings, my extended family, my second family (LF) and friends has taught me how to value money, grow in faith, have hope, respect myself and live a life full of happiness and joy. The love from God has given me all of this and more.

Yeah, I'm rambling. I'm just typing whatever's in my mind. Obviously, a lot is on my mind right now. Today wasn't as... emotional... as yesterday, but today is just as eventful as yesterday.

And I praise God for every single moment that He gave me today and every single moment he's given me and will give me.

Hallelujah.

I desire nothing more in this world
Than to give myself to you
As a victim of your love
I love you, Lord
Yes, I love you Lord
I wish to be a living sacrifice of your love
