Gentleness

Just working through the Beth Moore study called "Living Beyond Yourself".  It's an 11 week study on the fruit of the Spirit.  This week is gentleness.  I've only done 3 days and I'm a bit on overload.  She says that some aspects of gentleness are (so far) submission, humility and teachability.  Wow.  I know that I need to work on those things so much in my life.  Sometimes I feel like I'm pretty decent with them - like God and I have chatted about it and we're cool.  Other times I feel like some kind of demon-crazy-person, wondering how I could have just acted so proud towards that person just then.  Weird how that happens.  I guess it means I'm not done growing up.  Huh.
