Me, me, me

We discussed chapter 2 of Francis Chan's Crazy Love in Sunday School today; there is so much to think about in this chapter.

"On the average day, we live caught up in ourselves. On the average day, we don't consider God very much. On the average day, we forget that our life truly is a vapor." Crazy Love, p. 39

"Both worry & stress reak of arrogance." p.42

"Why are we so quick to forget God? Who do we think we are? I find myself relearning this lesson often. Even though I glimpse God's holiness, I am still dumb enough to forget that life is all about God and not at all about me." p.42

"You could be the next person in your family to die. I could be the nest person at my church to die. We have to realize it. We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live. " p.50-51



This life is about me. The way I worry about whether Jif is a girl or not, the way I parent, the way I think my opinions are right, the way I drive, the way I treat my husband, the way he treats me, the way I get upset when snow ruins our plans, blah, blah, blah.

It hurts to see the truth, that we are just a vapor here on this planet, a mist that will lift & then be forgotten. It hurts to realize that I am so arrogant, my pride doesn't like it. But will it change the way I live? Frankly, I need to get over myself.
