alabaster vial
met up with E from my bahasa indo class yesterday at clementi botak jones. claps for myself because i ALMOST finished the whole huge plate of fish and chips! i didn't want coleslaw, so they gave me extra chilli fries! i only left like 4 fries behind. quite an achievement! could feel myself gaining weight immediately after eating.she talked about her decision to serve God full time for 1 year after graduation. she's serving as a mentor in sajc. God gave her a sign she asked for! a RAINBOW... to assure her of her decision. God immediately answered her specific prayer for a rainbow. amazing. her parents aren't taking it well coz they aren't christians, but she's still standing firm. she reminded me about the Bible story of the woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard.. that woman poured it over Jesus' head. that perfume was worth one year's wages. that woman so willingly gave of her best, so we too, gota learn to give of our best to God too.
i'm still struggling with the cost of serving God. when i think about all the 'fun' that i will 'miss out' if i become a TL for 3 years, i am still so unwilling.
help me to trust.
