So latley I've had lot of stuff to do. Busy with school, extra curicular school stuff, kids club, singing company, Jr. youth group, church stuff in general, baby-sitting and work...its just nuts. So where do I stand with all of this? I dont know exactly. But with all this stuff I'm doing, I am thinking of the Mary and Martha story.
I can relate a lot to how Martha felt i think. My brain is an automatic to do list. If I don't run on a tight schedule something or someone will get neglected. That would be bad. So i just take a big breath and keep running.
But I can't run forever, I'll eventually burn out...I hear God telling me to sit down, but my brain is telling me otherwise. IF we were to have a man to man convo right now it's probley go somthing like
Jennifer , sit.
sorry I cant right now I will as soon as i finish kids club
sit

sit

sit
can't we jsut muli-task you know talk and work at the same time??I'm not nearly done my work for anyting!
no , sit
sitting is not productive! If i sit I won't get anything done for you!
SIT! if you dont stop and sit down and listen to me, you won't get anything done for me either.
So I know this, now i jsut have to work on sitting.
