Martha, Martha, Martha

38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Luke 10:38-72

The days are getting few before I leave for 11months, lately I've been here and there going and going, much like Martha. The things I'm doing are important, but not at the compromise of spending time with my truest love, my highest priority. Sad to say, I've lost sight of that just as Martha had. Realizing this I need to make a decision, to stop and listen, make time with my Lord a priority. Worries and concerns will always be, but as Jesus says, only one thing is absolutely needed. He Himself.
