Gaining Control of My Martha Tendency

It's been a while since I've last posted , much to my dismay, but I've gotten so distracted from writing these past few months. I've noticed it's very easy for women to become worry wart Marthas and allow themselves to be caught up by the cares of this world. I've not only let the household chores and my nursing career to put  hobbies on the back burner, but my relationship with God as well. By the end of each day I'm so exhausted I end up crashing on the couch and watching television, instead of devoting the moment to time with the Lord or my writing. Prioritizing is something I'm struggling with but is something I hope to have mastered within this next year. It's an art I definitely will need by September since that is when my second child is due. I'm excited to have another little one in the house but I can only imagine how hard it will be juggling a household with two children in tow!
Hopefully the Lord will turn me into more of a Mary within the next few months, if I trust Him to take full control of my life.


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.^f Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke Chapter 10
