working on it

Apart from the fact that I just need to know that I will fail, and that I need to be willing to accept grace, and apart from the fact that I need to trust that with God all things are possible (and subsequently that what I do really is never going to be effective without God)...

I like this segment:

"...show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned..."
-Titus 2:7-8

I hope I have integrity, and I think it's something I'm working on, but I'm learning how to be more of the same person wherever I go, whoever I'm with.

I definitely need to work on the seriousness part, because I feel like I miss out on so many good conversations because I'm busy being sarcastic or flitting between various irrelevant subjects. If only...

I want to be sound in speech. I give a lot of BS because I just keep on talking. I think if I closed my mouth more and became a silent learner, it would be far better..
