This is a blog about my journey to the Eastern Orthodox Church...what I learn, what I struggle with, and how God is working to lead me to the true faith. As a convert, I will try to stay away from theological teachings- I would suggest you consult a priest for that.

Sins
So I have noticed that for whatever reason, the sins I am struggling with are the "big" ones. Pride is one I have mentioned before. Another few I have found myself struggling with are Envy and Jealousy. I don't think of myself as a bitter person but it seems when people I like (some of them very very good friends) have opportunities that I would prefer to have I can't stand it. Random chance to move to Europe - rather than being excited or happy for that person I am upset. Its really not a pretty side of my personality...not only is there the envy and jealousy but there is also an element of judgement. This is obviously an area where I need to work on compassion, an area where I can hopefully grow into being a better friend and a better Christian.
