"WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SAY" (PART 1)


Im writing a series entitled "why is it so hard to say" . This 3 part series will talk about statements that are so simple but for some weird reason I find hard to say.

STATEMENT #1 "I DONT KNOW"

I experience this specially when im lost on my way somewhere and my wife Macy asks me if i know where are going. I get irritated,and become extra defensive.( men im sure you know what im talking about) somehow there is something in me that just wont say "I DON'T KNOW"

We would be saving ourselves from a lot of trouble if we just learn to be humble and admit the fact that

1. we dont know everthing ( yup, that can be a revelation for some)
2. we need help from people who know better ( we have blind spots)
me

i have learned to say "I don't know" at certain times( not all the time) when church members ask me for counsel,when a campus minister asks whats the next step for his minstry, when macy and I are lost going somewhere :)

Next time you are caught in a situation wherein you are not sure what to do..throw pride out of your doorstep and learn to say "i don't know the answer, can you help me please"

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 1Peter 5:5
