Nathan its good that you've learned to be humble but keep in mind its our joy to pray for the little things in your life as well as the big things too. Its what being a brother in Christ is all about.
Sure Kyle's trip and Michele's surgery are important things to pray about and so should we. But its just as important to pray that your walk remains strong and that you show Christ to your teachers and your bible study mates. So don't deny us the blessing brother let us pray for you in the little things too.
