This passage is about not forgeting who the Lord is, what He has done for his people and what disasters He allowed to happen as well. He is the source of all good.

Leap Year
This past weekend, by God's grace, we were able to go home.
Jon's second round of tests went great.
God is good and helped him remember everything he had studied weeks before.
Our weeks had been good. Until our car broke down...again.
This time with no lasting or even reasonably priced repair. It was a frustrating time. Discouraging.
Something in the engine broke. Anyways, we've been without a car since last Tuesday.
It is amazing how a blessing can turn into a curse, just to turn into a blessing again.

A Few More Months
This week marks our 5th month of pregnancy.
Needless to say, as every week goes by we get more excited.
Next Friday will be our first ultrasound and we will finally get to see our little worm growing inside of me. I know I will shed a tear or two. It will be fun!
It is amazing how long the waiting is. All the excitment and expectations.
I always find myself day dreamimg of how I will raise this little one. All the fun that we will have together. All the nights of waking up every few hours. All my cranky moments for lack of sleep. All the joy in spite of my crankiness that will fill me just when I see his/her face.

Alabaster Jar.
This blog was insipired by a sermon by Pastor Leonard Ravenhill.
Most of us have heard the story of the woman and the Alabaster Jar in Matt. 26:7, Mark 14:3
The disciples were astonished not by her devotion to the Lord, but by her "wasting" of a very expensive perfume. It is said it was worth around a year's wages.
Then in another occacion - not sure if it was the same woman ,
In John 12:3 it says that "Mary took a pound of ointment, genuine nard of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet dry with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of her ointment."
Again, the disciples (in this case Judas Iscariot) complaint about her "wasting" an expensive perfume with the excuse that it could have been sold and the given to the poor. Sounds like a pretty noble idea right? I am sure that in any other occation Jesus would have agreed to that. However, he did not. This time things were different. This time Jesus was to be his disciples priority.
