So i read this blog (http://hugoschwyzer.net/2007/03/12/fourteen-marthas-not-one-mary-a-retreat-report-and-a-long-meditation-on-girls-pressure-parents-and-people-pleasing/ ) and it gave me A lot to think about.
1. I find my self and many of my friends overwhelmed, overworked, and attempting to be overachievers.
2. I find that in the process of achieving we become Under-rested, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled.
Solution:
1. Stop being Martha. i know has hard as it is, I mean the whole world wants us to be Martha Hospitable, Hard working, successful, Driven, over achieving Martha.
2. Be more like Mary, Learn to prioritizes things and Sit at the Feet of the only one who really matters "JESUS"
3. No seriously try being still and listening to God, spend more time listening to him, learning from him, and enjoying his presence. Its what Mary did and Jesus approved of it.
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
4. Realize your worth and Value don't come from what you do, How well you do it, or How good you look while doing what you do.
5. If you must worry about something, worry about the one thing that matters.
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”Luke 10:41-42
