CHRISTIAN! =)

i met LS today!!! =) We went to eat pepper lunch at hougang mall. We originally intended to meet at 1pm. Then i came up with the idea of meeting earlier at 12.45pm because i she has a meeting in church at 2pm+.
-_-" in the end, i reached hougang MRT at 1.07pm. Heh. Even later than the original plan.

Anyway, that's not the important part. On the bus, i was reflecting and thinking about my behaviour. I spent A LOT of time online (sometimes i appear offline =P) reading/discussing christian websites and stuff. AND i've been neglecting/spending time on what's more important -- reading God's Word and talking to Him.

Suddenly, the story of Martha and Mary came to my mind. (it was tucked at the back of my mind. i think it was in Sec3 when they talked about it in GB)

"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But 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!"

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." -- Luke 10:38-41 (NIV, emphasis mine)

=x i feel like Martha. i've been doing things that seem important (eg. apologetics/discussion of theology/reading christian websites)

It's not that they are unimportant (questions or doubts should be cleared) ; just that spending time with God is more important.

Dear Lord, thank you so much for showing this to me. Lord, help me and remind me to be more like Mary. i want to do what is more important in Your eyes!
Amen.

Y,jaNICE
