Beware of the run ons!

I know for a fact the writing skills in the family went all to my sister and I'm infamous for run on sentences, grammatical errors and an occasional misspelled word or two.( you have know idea but I totally just spelled grammatical wrong, thank God for spell check!) But all this aside I do love to write as my sister does and share my thoughts and feelings with others. 
The name of my blog was inspired by a message I heard when I went to go visit my sister and brother in law at their church. The message was about Mary and the alabaster and how she took the alabaster of perfume, which was everything she had and poured it over Jesus' feet. She let go of everything she had and gave it to Jesus. This is something that I've forever struggled with but always had the desire in my heart to do. I want to give everything I have to Jesus without fear and just sit at his feet in awe of Him. I want to let go of whatever may be left in my alabaster jar and pour it over Jesus' feet. I could've washed them with my hair a week ago but I just got a really awesome new short hair cut so that would kind of be difficult. But anyways, although the desire in my heart is strong, there are still things of this world that I have a hard time letting go. I am scared of letting go of the idea of making money, wanting to buy the next best thing out there, of what people think of me and living out the opposite of what society considers the "normal" way of living.
So I hope you join me on my journey of letting go, sitting at Jesus' feet and making a difference in the world today. It's going to be a lonnnggg journey. :)

After reading all three of your blog posts, I think those writing genes might have been split evenly down the middle! I want to learn how to sit at Jesus' feet like you do. I'm proud of you, Mary.
