1. I would rate myself a 7. I always have room to grow and I am learning to trust God more and more each day. 2. With all the life changes I have gone through recently and all the ways I could fall into the weariness of doing things, I've learned to really trust God for His daily provision, wisdom and help in each new area. For Him to direct my steps and I just follow. 3. One of my favorite examples of faith is the woman with the issue of blood (Lk 8:43-48). What a story of unhindered faith in who He is and His compassion for us.- 1.) 6 and climbing. I feel that this season in life I am currently in is a Faith builder. I couldn't do it without God. 2.) Trusting God with the responsibilities he's given me. Any other time, I would have said "I can't do it". And to be honest the thought crosses my mind sometimes but that's when Faith & Trust in God comes in. And He shows up in a Mighty way! 3.) The Woman who washes Jesus' feet. While at the man’s house, a woman, well-known for her sinful lifestyle, came in with an alabaster jar of perfume. It is estimated that this jar of perfume would have been worth a year’s wages! Moreover, this expensive item was likely the woman’s dowry – to sacrifice this treasure was to sacrifice her future. And yet, in Luke 7 we are told this woman broke open her jar of perfume and began to wash Jesus’ feet with her tears. This scene greatly offended the Pharisee who had invited Jesus to dinner. Why would Jesus allow a sinful woman to treat him in such a way? But Jesus defended the woman and used the occasion to teach powerfully on love and forgiveness. According to Jesus, this woman’s act of great love was in response to the great forgiveness she had received. This woman, in a single moment, sacrificed the most valuable thing she had. In response to this tremendous act of faith, Jesus said to her: “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
