John 12:3: “Then Mary took out a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume”, (NIV).

When you’re tired…
Okay, so we’ve all been their right? Like, been SO tired that you can’t mentally finish a sentence or make out what you are looking at that is right in front of you?

Giving God control
Okay, so honesty time… I REALLY struggle with trying to “control” most (if not all) aspects of/situations in my life. I want to control the specific meals/calories I consume, the amount of time (and when) I exercise, what classes I take each semester at Asbury Theological Seminary, how much money I have/keep in my bankContinue reading “Giving God control”
