Two is better than one

Within this past week or so I've mentioned to God that I need to be humbled because I'm full of it. I get like that sometimes, where I get on a power trip and act like I run the show. It's not a good place to be in. When you have tons of stuff going on in life like I do, it's easy to just take charge and act like the functioning of everything and everyone is your responsibility. Just this morning I almost forgot I had class. The class that I'm the durn teacher of. With life being as hectic as it is, I just need a little kick in the face from God, who reminds me He's in charge and that I'm not as cool as I think I am. Last week I was subbing for the disc games class. I'd never played disc golf before but I thought how hard can it be, I'm athletic. Right? Being farely good at sports has always come naturally to me, with the exception of real golf but it's not natural to be good at that anyways. I played 14 holes of disc golf and didn't hit the stupid chain once. Not even close. Three of my shots went into the creek, one went into the jungle, and all of them curved to the opposite direction of the hole. I left that class frustrated as heck because it's a sport, why wasn't I awesome? In addition to that rediculousness, it bugged me for the rest of the day. That's just a small example of how my mind works sometimes and I need to be reminded of the fact that I'm just not that great. I like to be the best at everything, take control of my situations, be the boss. In some cases where assertiveness is needed, that's a good characteristic. But when it comes down to who's really in control, I need something, big or small, to humble me. Yep.
