Brad wasn't able to be with us tonight for our devotional time....he had a couple church meetings.  It is so weird when life happenings fit so perfectly with spiritual happenings....they always do, I suppose, but we just don't notice them.  Anyway, our devotional tonight was about the sinful woman who wept over Jesus' feet, kissed them, and poured her perfume over them.  Not that Brad couldn't have been a part of this discussion, but it worked really well as girl talk tonight.

You can't really talk about the beauty in that story without pointing out her sinfulness and that she was probably a prostitute....so we talked about that....and why her perfume would have been very important to her related to her life of sin.  Once you connect those dots, I think it makes so much sense as to why this was a complete act of repentance, surrender, and a leap of faith for this woman.

After we talked about the story, Kassi said...."That is just like how God takes something meant for evil and makes it something good!"  YES!  It is beautiful that a prostitute's perfume used to tempt and entice can be completely surrendered and become a fragrant offering and anointing oil.
