Mary and Martha

I have a very long to-do list that spans the next couple weeks. It feels really good when I check something off then I look at the remaining overwhelming compilation of work and get anxious. I worry a lot. I walk around school everyday wondering what I should be doing and if I'm meant to be in a certain class or studying a certain subject or interacting with certain people. And at the end of the day I'm simply left questioning trying to figure out God's plan for me.

Lately I have been reminded how not glorifying to God that anxiety and mindset is as I neglect opportunities to faithfully and wholeheartedly wait at His feet and serve Him in everything I do without any worry to whether it is part of some great plan for me. I really feel like Martha in Luke 10:38-42 who puts too much time and effort and attention into doing things that she might think would be pleasing to Jesus instead of stopping and simply listening to Him and delighting in His presence in her home. Too many times do I too try to decipher what God wants for me forgetting the fact that I am man not God and neglecting the opportunity to love dwelling in His presence. After all, it is delighting in God that brings Him great glory

Time to be Mary

here's a song that's been on my heart lately
