everything

Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford—she gave her all."

Mark 41-44

i've been trying to do this. to offer what i can't afford. especially in my time. i can't afford to wake up early in the morning to read and pray. but i want to give God everything. i know i don't have a lot of time these days. i'm trying to go to sleep a little bit earlier just so i can wake up and read. lately, when i wake up, i go straight to studying for biology or psychology or whatever. and it's really unfulfilling. it's 7 in the morning and i feel great! to just be filled up in the morning and energized for the rest of the day is an amazing feeling. i find myself trying to get studying and homework out of the way just so i can spend some time with Him. let me tell you something. it's totally worth it. =]
