What was I thinking...?

Okay, so I learned today that my stubbornness gets the best of me...or worst of me...sometimes. I was rearranging my room, for the 3rd time since I moved in...and I was doing it myself. Last time I moved my room around I did it ALL by myself because no one was home, and I really wanted to do it...

Anyways, one thing I know about myself is that sometimes I'm too proud to ask for help, or I sometimes just don't like bothering people. Whether it's for rides, or help with personal finances, or...in this case...moving my room around. I'd rather not bother people, so I walk, or get some random side jobs to cover money costs, or just do it on my own.

So that's what I was doing. Well, let's just say it backfired on me...I dropped a REALLY HEAVY part of my bed on the top of my foot and boy did it hurt. Immediately all 3 of my housemates were upstairs with green beans (that was my ice) and towels and a tensor bandage to help me with the pain. Well, needless to say, I have a very lovely (or not so lovely) bruise on my foot that appeared immediately. It actually looked like a birthmark...anyways, I'd show you a picture, but I just took my slipper off to take a picture and the tint is no longer there, it's just swelling and hurts to move my foot.

I guess I should learn from this. I am no longer allowed to move my room around myself...LOL. I am now asking myself whether or not I do this in my own faith, with God. Do I sometimes want to show others that I can do it on my own? I think I used to, but I hope that I no longer do...at least I'm trying to always rely on God to help me through my daily life. This is a life lesson to never physically do things on my own, but also a reminder to ask God to be with me in all my situations and not to be too 'proud' to have God alongside me.
