following.

as of lately...

sometimes... i forget the goodness of Jesus.
and i hate that feeling. i go through minutes, hours, days, sometimes even weeks, anxious and stressed out.
the story of mary and martha has been heavy on my heart lately.
it's a popular story, but the conviction is always
there, regardless of how many times i hear it.

"Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.' But the Lord answered her, 'Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.'

-Luke 10:38-42

dang.
today has been one of those days... i have so much to do... and just sitting still at the feet of Jesus doesn't sound like a very good way to get things done.
but then again, the Lord usually doesn't do things my way.

i don't want to be religious. rushing around, just DOING things for Jesus.
if it doesn't overflow from a heart of love for Christ, what's the point?
works without faith is empty.

do i trust the Lord enough that i don't have to worry, because
news flash: he's in control. not me.
and he's not holding out on me either...
Matthew 6:25-34 is a perfect example of that.


i want to follow Jesus in every season, not just in the ones i understand.
teach me to follow you blindly.
