from my morning reading today in Mark 14
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2014:1-11;&version=31;
how easy it is (lest I judge Judas too much) to turn to our own devices when God (Father, Son or Holy Spirit) does not meet our expectations of who He should be and how He should act. in the days when Jesus walked the earth, many turned away from belief because they expecteda warrior king. these turned from outright belief. but Judas was one of His very own who turned away from belief because of a jar of perfume. I myself turn away at times (not from belief) but to my own work if I get impatient for His work to be done in some way or a specific time in my own life. and His Church at times turns away over issues that are 'jars of perfume' (hymns/praise choruses, dancing or not, and so on).
About Me
- natalie
- ok, who am i? i am a believer in Jesus Christ, a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, an aunt, a friend, a nurse. i hate wearing shoes, i would go barefoot most of the time if i could. i don't really have a set style, one day it's all about being girly, the next its' about comfort and i wear pajamas and houseshoes in public, and the next it may be jeans and a punk shirt, it's all about the mood. most days, i can honestly say that when i got up and got dressed, i didn't think about you but just about what i wanted to wear (as long as it fits within societal norms). the most important thing in my life is my walk with God. some days i'm better at it than others. the next most important thing in my life is family and friends. being an aunt has been so rewarding but no more so than being a sister and a daughter, a friend. my friends live all over the world (literally). by profession, i am a nurse currently serving as a ward nurse on the m/v africa mercy.
