why is it bothering you?

banana bread (double recipe) in a bundt pan

Yesterday I had quite a little meltdown.  I really couldn't figure out the heck was my problem.  it wasn't something that doesn't happen (or seem to happen!) every day!  It really bothered me, and I wish that I could say I handled it well... but I can't.  


And like all things, when I mess up, I can focus on them all day, even for weeks!  ugh :/


Today I wrote out my scripture verse of the week:


Psalm 55:22 
 Cast your cares on the LORD 
   and he will sustain you;
he will never let    the righteous be shaken.


I knew that cast was used a lot in the bible so I decided to look it up in my Strong's concordance (I'm still amazed that I have one of these! I would recommend you get one!) 


Cast (H7993):  To throw out or down


So as I went on my walk/run this morning (after I whipped up some yummy banana bread), I really prayed about this.  Why did this bother me?  What at the core is the issue?


Pride.  


Ugh.  


I hate that lesson.  I want to make sure people know that I did a good job.  That I... that I... that I... oh boy.


All day as I was 'memememememe' I was remembering the cross and how He... How He... How  He...  my little meme seems very insignificant.  I don't do a good job of showing the world who He is if I am singing a 'meme' song.


Thankfully His mercies are new EVERY morning, and in my case, sometimes every minute!


Lam 3:22-23 NKJV
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
