Lately I've been experiencing the blessing of humility. It comes in subtle ways. Sometimes I don't remember the Spanish word my students ask me for. Sometimes I mess up showing the slides for praise and worship. Sometimes I get flustered leading a RA meeting. All these experiences remind me of my own limitations. Now this is not to say that I feel like I should hide in a corner because I have limitations. Instead, I realize that all the gifts I do have come from God. And maybe that's the real gift of humility: the understanding that all the good we do is not of ourselves, but of our maker, who wants to shine His goodness and love through us. Not a bad deal.
In other far more superficial news, I got a haircut the day before I came back to Tech. And a lot of people noticed, to my surprise. It is the same length that I normally get, but this time I got some extra layers put in. Now what was interesting was the difference of reactions between my guy and girl friends. The girls noticed I had cut it shorter and usually complimented the new do. The guys' reaction, on the other hand, can best be summed up by my friend Chris who said, "Your hair is different. Is it shorter or longer?" It's pretty amusing.
