Mason and Tommy's Double Party

So basically what happened was a certain boy named Tommy Wilson Henry invited me to his only-boys birthday party. Since I am a girl (yes, for those of you who don not know, I am a girl) I was definitely thinking of not going. I mean I was the ONLY girl! In the end, though, it turned out awesomely. I felt quite comfortable, surprisingly. And plus, it was at our school! How much more awesome can it be?
Some very random pics at the party!

My Faults

   I'm a human being, and probably not even a good human being in human standards. I have many, many, many faults. However, I know God still uses me. Isn't that a wonderful truth? Either way, I just wanted to talk about some of my many faults.

1.) I am extremely stubborn.

Often times think I am always right and do not listen to the people around me. I am adamantly against or for something even if it is wrong. I have this joke among my friends that I am "always right and that everyone is always wrong" and we laugh it off but in a sense it shows exactly who I am. Sometimes when I am being stubborn for something good it can be a virtue. However, usually I go the other way.

2.) I am a very coveting person.

This is a sin I am usually very good at hiding from all but God. I look at others and envy their gifts God has blessed them with. I fail to look at the gifts God has given me and become reproachful to God.

3.) I am very prideful and arrogant.

When I start to do well in something, I think "Wow Grace you really did do an awesome job". I even go to the point where I think "That person isn't good enough for me" which is a horribly evil mindset. When I realize I am being proud, I try to make it up by saying "It was nothing" it really only builds up on my arrogance and pride because I hear people say "no no Grace you really are" and I just soak it all up.

4.) I am very hypocritical.

I tend to think I have this great chart for morality. I think part of the reason why I think this way is because I am the firstborn and I have to look after my sisters. I always tell them "that's wrong" and "no!" and "you're so disrespectful" and such, but in the end I realize "Grace, what about you?" I don't apply the things I know and tell others to do. 

5.) I am judgemental. 

I look at someone just by a few minutes of talk I start to judge them. Luckily, God knew this and has given me a lot of surprises about who the people I thought they were ACTUALLY were. I am still working on this fault, though.

Throughout the years, God has molded me and changed me. He's taught me so much. I am so grateful that although these faults are still intact within me He will help me and still use me for His great plan.
