So... I just wrote this "Learning Statement" - what my Prof. calls them, about the Gospel of John... although I talked almost more about 1 John, but I brought it back to the gospel and I brought it to John 13 where Jesus washes his disciples feet.
See... feet are dirty and filthy, and Jesus humbled himself to wash that mess, and he told the disciples too, "follow my example." Because, there's this wonderfulness behind that dirty mess, there's potential in everyone to do good things.
So, basically I want to see that potential in others, and I think that is my way to humble myself.
Like I said in my last post, I struggled this summer when I got home. And, I don't give my parents enough credit. They are my biggest supporters, and they probably believe the most in me (I guess that's kinda what parents do though). I tell my mom that I have an idea, and she is more than willing to put some fire into my heart for it and give me the tools to achieve my passions. My dad... is trying. When I speak out about what's wrong, he wants to fix it... he wants to change it.
"Everybody needs compassion." right? Yeah, even the parents. They can't be perfect, just like their offspring can't either.
