Katie's prayer: Jeremy Camp's "In Your Presence"

And I lift my voice to You alone, to You alone

Sometimes, I can become a little conceited. I love singing, right. More than once during Mass, I've been told how great of a singer I am. Sometimes, I catch myself singing so others can hear me and hear how good of a singer I am and then maybe compliment me like others have before. It's one of the things I hate about myself. Not singing for God, but singing for others and myself. Not even paying attention to the lyrics half the time. As I was thinking about this, I realized something though. The few times people have complimented me, were the few times when I was truly singing for God and for God alone. This week, especially with Christmas, I'm going to try harder on trying to please God, not others.
