in contemplation.
yes, we've all heard the mary & martha tale.
yes, we all don't want to be martha-ish: scurrying all over, busying herself with serving Jesus, frustrated at her sister's lack of involvement.
yes, i know that i may be taking on too many responsibilities; maybe i'll be giving of myself too much until i get burnt out.
yes/no: is it possible then, in all one's busy-ness & undertakings, to still have a close relationship with God? some say it's not God's will for us to get involved in so many things; that what He wants is someone like mary: quietly sitting, seeking Jesus.
no, i shall not let the busy-ness engulf my spirit or quench the Holy Spirit in me.
no, i don't know if i've made the right choice, but i will make the best out of it.
yes/no: balance is the key- that you put your heart & soul into serving Him, but even as you serve, you take time off to recharge & seek Him in solitude.
