martha or mary?

...Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made... "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." - Luke 10

Do you ever feel as though there are so many things going on around you - many things that need to be done, yet you are missing out on something? I find myself easily busied by the "things" that need to get done... but what is more important? Am I discovering who Jesus is through all of my busyness? I'm really not. I feel like I'm being caught up in this busyness.. and it being called "ministry". I find myself wanting to take these kids OUT of the church, so that they will be able to really discover who Jesus is... I want to discover that too. What is the point of all of these programs we spend so much time preparing?? Is this what ministry is supposed to look like?

Have you ever sat through an entire car ride in silence? Is there always something going on around you? I do think that we are all missing out on something spectacular... How can we hear God's voice when everything is so loud? If only I could quiet everything... even in silence the thoughts running through my mind can be deafening.

How can we go from a Martha posture into a Mary posture?? That is my question. There are so many expectations...

Sit at the feet of Jesus just a little while, won't you.
