Sometimes I start to feel like we’re always running, running, running.
I have to “come back to center,” so to speak and get focused on the scriptures that are so much a part of who I want to be in Christ. This morning, as I browsed things I had written when I was feeling similarly in the past, I couldn’t help but notice how much they still reflect my heart. I strive to be more like the Proverbs 31 woman as a wife, mother, and Christ-follower. I want my heart to reflect that attitude and for it to be visible from the outside as well. I want it to be so far in my core that it is who I am.
Earlier this week, I was reading about Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), and I have really been praying and focusing on being Mary. I want to be at the feet of Jesus–or my husband or son–rather than being so caught up in the details. This is tough for me. This is also new; it’s something God has been revealing in the last seven days or so. I have been in prayer that I can be caught up in Jesus.
For a little more on how I’m feeling today; from the archives:

Proverbs 31 Woman
Your post reminded me of a book I bought but then forgot to start "Having a Mary heart in a Martha World". It is a sign, I need reminding to slow down!
Sounds like a great book! I'll have to check it out!
I definitely hear you. I need to organize my mind more, and get out of my head more, and really live in the moment. I'm trying as much as i can, but I sometimes feel the stress oozing out.
i can definitely relate! God is showing me those same things, too! 🙂
