A Leap of Faith

As a Christian our priority is God over work, family, friend. But in reality there are only few Christians who prioritize relationships with God over anything. I know a Christian from our church who are one of the few who prioritize God over her work. She works in a bank and this year she decided to enrolled in a Bible school. The problem arises when she arrived at her classes late for three times. The teacher warned her that he/she might dropped her off her class if it continues. The Christian lady asked permission from her manager if she can leave early from work so she can arrived at school on time. According to what I've heard the manager didn't allowed her to leave early. In this circumstances she needs to choose, whether to give up Bible school or her work. Honestly if I were to choose, I would have given up the Bible school. How could I give up my work especially during this time that it is difficult to find a job? And besides there could still be another opportunity to enrolled in a Bible school (Shame on me for my choice right?). But the Christian lady choose differently, she was thinking of resigning from her job for more or less ten years... WOW that's faith.... I was amazed by her great faith. She chose God over her work, She chose to courageously stood up for Christ even if it means resigning from her job. She trust that God would provide for her and her family.

Update:
As of now she's still in the Bible school, and she's still with the bank, I don't know what had happened but I believe that God work in her circumstances. "Seek ye first thy kingdom of God and all these things will be given unto you"
