God has a way of humbling us even if we are not ready or willing to accept it. I am learning the hard way.

This weekend our dear friend Rebecca came over the help us paint the baby’s room. Before she even appeared on our doorstep, I thought I would try to help my husband clear and prep the room. I thought taping off the baseboards, door and window wouldn’t be that hard. Little did I realize that I am indeed only 6 weeks away from delivering a baby. I proceeded to get down on my hands and knees to tape off the baseboard and “OW” it hit me. My back just pinched. I was so upset that something so little could hurt so bad.

Why couldn’t I just let my husband and friends help? Why do I have this need to feel that I am doing something? Why can’t I just let people help and be grateful?

Even when we can’t humble ourselves, God will find a way to humble us.
