jan 1 - john 12

Hello everybody. I just got back from chicago and indy. I am finally in the comfort of my own home after about a week and a half =] Its been bad on my blogging though, I'm sorry for that =[ Well I read from john 12. I always find this passage interesting. And I always ask myself the question, "am I willing to give up something so valuable where people will start talking about it?" Thats hard you know, to give up something you really value. In the case with the woman who annointed Jesus with perfume, scholars say that the monetary value of the perfume was equivalent to a years wage. To me a years wage is not that much considering I am a student still. However when I start working giving up a years wages may be more difficult to give up. I can't imagine using a years wages on washing Jesus' feet. I hardly give my free time to Jesus, how can I even think I can give a years salary? With my small group I can start to give more of me. I should be able to give my small group free things here and there. I should be able to give out free prayers for them. I should be able to sacrifice time for them. I think I am like Judas sometimes when I think that its not worth giving Jesus my time and money for his name sake. Tonight I will pray for a heart like this woman. =]
