Mary or Martha?

Good evening everyone. I have missed you all so much and I wanted to jump on here tonight and let you know that I'm still around, lol, but I've been VERY busy in my life. More than anything, I have missed blogging and bringing you the words that God would have me to bring you.

I took a new job at a publishing company on October 3rd and it has consumed my life, unfortunately. I hate that it has but it's been a lesson that I've learned of what NOT to do anymore.

Not long ago, I blogged about a man who put his net in the water and was catching fish. He had a net full, but he wanted more and more, so he kept dipping the already full net into the water until it was overflowing. As the net become heavier and heavier, the weight caused the handle to bow and it finally broke.

Well, I needed to go back and read that blog for myself, even though I had brought it to you. For seven and a half weeks, I've allowed my work to take over me and I've let deadlines to become my number one concern.

That's so wrong. I was filling my net with more and more until I felt it was about to snap.

Thank God that I didn't go so far that it broke and I lost it all, but I thank God that His Spirit spoke to me and showed me what I was doing. He tried to tell me all along, but I had allowed my boss to completely heap me with management duties until I couldn't function any longer. But I ignored the still small voice of God and I just kept allowing work to cover me up.

Don't misunderstand, I haven't left God, nor have I sinned, (Maybe allowing work to become so important is a sin, but it wasn't an intentional one on my part.) I have just allowed my focus to be on other things, namely work and the massive income that came with it.

That's not important at all. Money comes and goes, but God is always here with me. So, for the next two days, I'm going to stay in prayer and scripture and just love on God. I've missed His company so much. I love Him and I can't go even one day without being completely surrounded by HIm and His love.

So, hopefully, I'll be back in a couple of days with a new word from God. I'm going to empty my mind and my life of work for a few days and just bask in the presence of God.

I love you all and although I pray for you each day, tonight I ask for your prayers for me. My whole desire is to love God, serve Him, work for Him and bring others to the peace that I've found in Him. But I know that I can't do that if I'm so deep in work that He takes a back seat.

I don't want to be a Martha.

I love Jesus with everything inside of me.

I'll see you in a couple of days, Lord willing.

Much love,

Christy
