Day 583

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  One thing I need to work on on a daily basis is my ego and my pride.  In my sobriety, I have learned more about my character defects, and what I need to work on.  I have an issue with always having to be right.  Any time, my husband and I fight, I will go look something up on Google to prove that I am right.  It is pathetic.  When I was in track, I always had to get first place. At baby or wedding showers, I always have to win a game.  I always have to do something to win something.  An acronym for EGO is Edging God Out.  I really like that definition.   It is putting me before God, and that is not right. That is a sin. Between that and my pride, I have some issues.  But me acknowledging that is a step in the right direction, and working on them daily is another.  2 Corinthains 12:9 states,  "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."  So I have my work cut out for me, but will continue to keep on keeping on, one day at a time.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
