Mary verses Martha!!

Do you know which one you are??

Is any one out there like me? You spend alot of your time doing rather than being!
I wear myself out by doing the things I think I ought to be doing and not eneough time asking God what his plan is for my day!!

I scurry around from one hamster wheel to another trying to fit in everything in one day when no one has forced the  long written list upon me I did that myself!!

Realisticly there are things that need to be done on a daily basis otherwise we wouldn't eat or be clothed ( Adam and Eve have a lot to answer for on the clothing front!! We would save so much time if we were in the 'natural' no washing or ironing!!) but there also other things that really we need to just put down.

I read Bill Johnson slant on the Mary verses Martha story and it hit me hard!!
Jesus came to vist the sisters and he wanted to be with them instead Martha was making sandwiches for Jesus that Jesus didn't order!!!!! Wow!
I am so like Martha I think the house needs to be cleaned before people come to stay I think they need baking in to make them happy, I always feel the need to take baking to peoples homes even though I am tired!! I find myself saying I ought to go and visit so and so hmm God must be shaking his head!!

Jesus wants us to work along side him as friends not work for him as a servant, a servant doesn't know what his master mind is but Jesus reveals himself to us and wants to confide in us we need to take the time out for intamacy so he can whisper his ways into our hearts. We then we work with him and it doesn't become a chore but a pleasure. I am so ready to sit with him and just be in his presence anyone care to join me?

Not to self 'Angela stop making sandwiches that Jesus hasn't ordered!! '
