Humility

This last week has been one of the most stressful of my life--though the week of Wendy's move and my parent's divorce probably tops it. But this week has been very heavy and very intense at work--very uncharacteristic for my job and the folks there! In this, however, I have seen something pretty extraordinary: as much as we have been united, we've also been on edge because of the stress of the situation, and we've said a few pointed things or neglected to say things that should have been said.

But, and this is a very big but, I have heard many apologies over the last couple of days. One of the women said to me tonight, "I've NEVER been in a workplace where people apologize." It's really quite incredible. We've discussed how humility is not a sign of weakness; rather, humility is a sign of great strength and confidence.

When I think of how the Savior willingly took so much abuse, so much taunting, so much ridicule, and took it all with such grace, I am humbled. His humility showed his complete and total faith in His Father, and that just showed our Savior's true strength, because He knew in Whom He trusted.

I am so grateful for people at work who have shown such Christlike qualities.

My Goal

I've started this blog as a place where I can share spiritual thoughts I've been having. Some friends have shared testimonies or insights in blogs that have really touched me, and I want to have a specific place for that. Please feel free to comment and share your experiences and insights, as well. Nothing beats a great spiritual discussion, right? =)
