I strongly believe that this striking combination of elegance and spiritual energy, beauty, and spiritual abandonment is what God intends to plant within the heart of a Christian woman." ~ Eric Ludy |

Reps: 835 (power: 0) | | | I think I have a problem with setting aside my pride and being humble...allowing God to guide me and doing what I know I should do. I'm in a constant state of repentence. I think with more faith and trusting in the Lord more I could gain more peace, less pride, and become more humble. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Patience. I have always suffered from impatience. I need to learn that things will not happen when I want/expect them too.
Next up would be self-control. Generally I'm self-controlled, however, I turn extremely emotional and even violent when my parents fight... |

Reps: 371 (power: 0) | | | self-control. I have a hard time motivating myself to do work and not goof off. I also tend to impulse-buy, which I usually regret.
