I fail at lent...

I didn't post wednesday/thursday because of issue that I will explain(a reason, just not a valid one). Friday I was at Jon's place so that didn't happen, yesterday orgo consumed my life.

One of my weak points is I guess a sense of entitlement or just the fact that I expect things from people. This applies mainly to friendships. That didn't really make sense... essentially(Dan's word) if I care |this much| about someone, I expect them to care |this much|. If I care | this much | I expect them to care the same amount. On Wednesday night, one of my closest friends from home, disrespected me in such a way that it made it clear to me that they didn't care about me nearly as much as I did them. This I guess is my primary struggle with pride. Most guys struggle with pride in things like strength, sports, looks, skill, etc. This is where I struggle though. So I pretty much cooped up until we resolved the problem literally right after Access. I was fully set on holding this grudge over the weekend, but during opening praise the word mercy came up like a million times. I associate mercy with forgiveness and just thinking about all of our Bible studies about David and following God's heart. Sounds kinda lame that I associate God's crazy awesome mercy with me just being able to forgive a friend... but it happened and I'm happy about it.
