But it’s so good - For Me.

After completing 7 days of morning pages my cousin texted me and said:

“It was challenging and humbling and frustrating and interesting.” 

In which I responded: 

“Whew humbling I like that one”

“Writing is humbling” 

As much as I might pray God help me to remain humble, I don’t like being humbled. 

But it’s so good for me. 

This must be why my cousin's usage of humbling as it refers to writing resonated with me. 

It’s as if God says:

“You want to be humble? Write”

“More humble? Publish” 

“Everyday”

Coming to my morning pages, unsure, having doubts, and writing them out on paper, for me to see and express, was humbling for me. 

I don’t know and I don’t have control. 

Whew humbling. Writing is humbling. 

Everyday I write The Daily Tithe and everyday I’m humbled. 

“Is this anything?”

“Are they going to like this?”

“Who do I think I am?”

“This sucks. No one will like this. You’re not a writer.” 

Whew humbling. Writing is humbling. 

But it’s so good for me. 

For my cousin and I it’s writing

For you, - it might be..

What’s the thing for you? 

The thing that’s..

Whew humbling. 

.. is humbling. 

Might that be the gift? 

For you..

A slice of humble pie?
