Today i've been thinking a lot about what i want my life to stand for. One of my assignments for a particular core module was to come up with a metaphor about my own life (see, even science professors can get creative with assignments).
I thought about my past experiences, and my achievements, and i realized that to be honest, they pale in comparison to many others that i know. And just before i could start wallowing in self pity, God led me to the story of John the Baptist.
He did no miracles, was known to be a bit crazy, lived alone (at least i think so), and he basically wasn't as well known nor as talented as the 12 disciples or Paul. But somehow, everyone remembers him.
How many people can honestly say they know all the names of all 12 disciples? But John the Baptist? Everyone knows him.
The moral of the story is this. It doesn't matter if (you think) you have no skills or talents, because if there's one thing you can do with your life, that is to proclaim the coming of Christ (again), just like John, who made it he's life mission to tell everyone about the coming Messiah.
My budget now stands at $14.20 used! Thankfully within that budget i've already included one breakfast and 2 lunches. So the countdown begins now.
6 meals unaccounted for. $5.80 left.
