New stuff all around

Friday night I brought home my new puppy, her name is Brady, yes like Tom Brady of the beloved Patriots. She was born on April 11. Brady will be hiding out in my apartment for about 10 days at which time she will move with me to our new home that I am in the process of purchasing. VERY EXCITING. Let me just say that I am excited to have enough space where I live to have enough seating for more than three people at one time. I am so pumped to finally have Bible study over at my house. And I have been waiting for a puppy for a long time now, since I graduated from college 3 years ago. Puppies are a lot of work. Thankfully my Brady has already learned not to relieve herself inside. Yup she is a protegy already. One thing that she does do however is that she wakes up me up multiple times throughout the course of the night because she wants to go outside to relieve herself. Then at around 4:30 am she wakes up and is quite ready to play. And she is not one that likes to play quietly by herself, she wants me to play also. Anyone who knows me even remotely knows that I need 8 hours of sleep at least or I am not a happy person. They also know that when I "wake up" it usually takes another 2-3 hours before I am truely awake, and since I don't drink coffee or soda, when Brady wakes up around 4:30 ready to play, I am definately NOT ready to play. All of this has led me to the realization that I have been rather selfish lately. I have placed my own wants above the needs of others. I have also not been spending time with the Lord as I should even before Brady moved in with all her stuff and all her needs. I have been judgemental and bitter towards some people in my life, specifically some family members. It's hard to realize this type of stuff about myself and I have two choices, I can pretend like I don't know and continue on thinking that I am somehow more Godly or righteous than the next person. Or I can allow God to humble me and change me and grow more in my relationship with Him. So please pray for me that I would allow Him to renew me.
