I believe that the desire to know God is within every one of us.

As I'm sitting in the library, ignoring my homework (and sidenote, my homework is seemingly becoming impossibly hard. Or maybe I'm just becoming ridiculously lazy), and I happened to come across a "stranger's" blog. I put stranger in quotes because I've met this person at NU, seen him, but never really had any interaction with him.

Needless to say, I didn't think much of him.

But this guy pours his heart out on his blog, from feeling subpar about school, being an inadequate boyfriend, and not meeting the mark as a son.

I'm not sure why but when I see someone else (especially a person I don't even know) cry out like that, it's humbling and so convicting.

I hate the culture of "Look at me, I've got my shit together." I'll be the first to admit that I perpetuate it myself.

I hate it because it rocks us to the core when things are off, when things are out of control. We fear to admit that we are actually capable of nothing and quietly try to handle things behind the scenes.

Why I do think this is so key?

The first step to being human is to be humble.
