Still Struggling with Martha

Read the following from my journal from this morning: "I thought that I would have this amazing quiet time this morning because of how much I need [God]. However, I've read your word and nothing. I've even read out of Psalms to get away from just doing Acts, and nothing." Did you see that word right before "Acts"? Doing. I have preached on the difference between Mary and Martha. I have shared with others how important it is to be like Mary, just willing to sit at Jesus' feet. And the problem that I'm realizing is this: I don't like to sit still — not even with Jesus. I am so about producing that I am not resting. I am so about doing that I am not being with Jesus.

Kind of humbling to be shown the same thing once again.
