Jesus Time

I have this really good idea, and I hope I can work it out. I'll let you know if I do, but for now I'm keeping it a secret. 




The past couple weeks I have been in a funk and it was so hard to explain why. Talking to Thomas tonight really helped me. God opened up my eyes to the unnecessary burdens I was putting on myself. There is a lot going on in my life right now, more than I am used to, but I'm giving it all up to God releasing the stress and concern and worry. 
Tonight on the phone I told Thomas about my bible-time last night. I was reading from Luke 10 about Mary and Martha getting ready for Jesus coming to eat at their house. Martha was running around like a chicken with her head cut off, trying to get everything done, worrying about everything being perfect. Mary was tending to her guests, not worrying about appearances, not worrying about making things "perfect". I have been such a Martha lately. I can't make things perfect and I can't get everything done. Most of all and best of all I can't do any of this by myself, and I don't have to. With all of that said, I feel a peace, relief, even joy at the thought of tomorrow's new day.
