our family went up to vermont for a two day vacation as our Christmas present (today is the first day) because we had to pick up two of my siblings who were racing at Trapp Family Lodge. it was crazy snowy and cold but it was rather fun.
then we went shopping. i hate shopping. and i become very uncharacteristic of myself when i go, and today we went. soon i became the grouchy grinch and being a poor sport about it, though this is our Christmas. and once i become a grouch, i become very stubborn. so asking for God's help is most of the time, out of the question. it's too humiliating to my pride. but by simply praying, "God, i'm being grumpy and annoying and i'm too stubborn to ask for help, but please help me out so i can enjoy my Christmas with my family...." and no joke, in a matter of 10 minutes, i am eating pizza and telling radom "funny" stories (people who really know me know that when i have a "funny" story, it is 98% of the time not funny...) and the evening was awesome once again.
so if we can ask God for help in our weaknesses, whether it be pride, anger,etc., he helps us get over our issues and really live our lives the way they are supposed to be lived.
