Galatians 1:10: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”What would it look like to give God thirty seconds? Just thirty seconds of courage. Thirty seconds of discomfort or even embarrassment? The whole thing was silly, yet I knew in my heart that it was what God was calling me to do. I don’t know why He called me to do this, but I knew I didn’t want to do it.

“A‌s you can see, this is a great deal,” he said. The salesman was very well-spoken, personal, and friendly as he explained how much we would be getting for being part of this “vacation club.”Definitely not a timeshare; totally legit. Usually, it was fifteen thousand dollars, and here they offered it to me for only five thousand. Clearly, I am so special that they are willing to take a loss to get me to join their club. Not only that but all of the perks.

I sat there in complete humiliation. “What am I supposed to do with this?” I thought quietly to myself. How could something so exciting become so disappointing? And yet here I am, doing everything I can not to show my disappointment and unsure how to shift the moment’s awkwardness. My friends ran by the dining room table, laughing and playing while I was stuck to my chair, a prisoner of the moment desperately looking for anything to set me free.
