Wouldn’t life seem way less complicated if it were still the custom that our parent’s were responsible for picking our mate…or maybe that would be way more complicated:) In Genesis 24, Abraham puts his servent Eliezer in charge of picking a wife for Isaac. After some guidance from the Lord, the most important character trait was one of service. Rebekah had a servant’s heart and demonstrated that by going out of her way to help out a complete stranger. What an example Rebekah is for women today. Appearance is important to us, and we spend time and money improving it. But how much effort do we put into developing our inner beauty? Patience, kindness, and joy are the beauty treatments that help us become truly lovely!
O How I love Proverbs 3:5-6!! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.â€?  What incredible freedom we, believers are offered through trusting God with our future. He tells us if we trust him, he will guide us and direct us into what career we are to pursue, relationship to be in, decision to make, ect. So easy to say and so very hard to do!!Â
I want to have the faith of the centurion! In Matthew 8:5-13 was a very powerful story of the Roman officer amazing Jesus with his faith. The centurion could of let so many obsticles get in his way between him and Jesus (Pride,doubt, money, language, distance, time, power, race, self-sufficiency). I feel like living in America with all of the conviences, wealth, and power a lot of times it is hard to see our need for Jesus. The Centurion’s faith is a good reminder of what the power of Christ in our lives could look like.
