What is it to be humble?

A few weeks ago, God put the word humble on my heart. He told me, "humble yourself before Me for I am the Lord your God." That phrase has made such an impact on me that I've to focus on humility his school year. Who knows, it might just be my word for life. Anyway, here's a list of unofficial definitions of what see as humility on my own life. 1) telling God that I am broken and that I need Him and only Him to fix me. 2) Not trying to bear everything on my own shoulders. When I do that, I'm telling Hod that he's not big enough to handle my problems. BUT when Ithe reverse of that is true as well so that when I humble myself and admit that I'm not strong enough, that brings glory to God. 3) Repenting of my sins on a regular basis. 4) Allowing my pride to fall 5) To cry "in front" of God. I'm not a crier, mostly because it signifies weakness to me, which is my biggest fear. So to cry when I talk to Hod is like telling him that I am weak and I need his strength ti get me through the day. 6) To talk to God throughout the day. To actively and consciously include God on my day shows my dependence on him as well. I guess for me at this moment, humility is accepting the fact that I can't make it through his world alone and accepting God's strength and will above my own since mine will never be enough to survive.
