PRIDE

-rip
-die
-pre
-ride

the first few words that automatically entered my mind as i looked at this word. This is such a shiny, "glorious", honorable, respectable word.

or so it may seem.

it rips you continuously into pieces before or until you die.
That is, if you'd ride along...


among the deadly sins, this one is the most poisonous...
even the once most beautiful among the angels fell from the heavens because of its consuming viper.

why would anyone want this?






I've been re-assessing myself for the past few weeks.
So far, this is my evaluation:

--i've been missing out devotion hours

--i'm currently addicted to facebook and youtube

--i've been slacking off from school work

--i'm cramming for requirements the night before its sumbmission

--i'm physically exhausted because i do nothing like a sloth when i have free time (knowing i have much to accomplish) and then CRAM and "sacrifice" my sleeping hours doing what i could have done a few days earlier.

--in relation to the previous statement, almost all my work are of no value, no excellence, no prestige, no class, no spark! simply because they were done just to get them done.

--i don't pray much anymore.

--i'm beginning to be a sour-puss.

--i don't get to show how much my family means to me.

--i'm not overflowing in the Spirit... and i miss this!

ghaaa! my life is beginning to crumble. lately i'm losing all hope and interest. But then again, it happens. We lose energy mainly because we're not connected to the powersource.

*sigh*


though mountains may be moved
and fall into the raging sea
You'll never let me fall
You hold me in Your nail-scarred hands


***in the end, nothing matters more than the Lord.
