Alumna Mei-Mei Lee: Treasured Possession
The testimony below was first shared by alumna Mei-Mei Lee during Faculty Development Days 2025 as a devotional.
A father gave his young daughter a pearl necklace, and she adored it so much that she wore it every single day. Years later, when the girl was older, her father asked her, “Please give the necklace back to me.” And do you know what she said? “No.” She refused, saying, “This is my favorite. I love it.” Sometimes, we are just like that little girl with God. We cling so tightly to things we cherish—a ministry, a relationship, a position, or a dream—that we cannot let go. For me, that thing was my ministry.
