"...but Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made."

constantly thinking about the flipcharts, handouts, and lessons to be made, i've lost my ability to focus and allowed circumstances to dictate my mood and actions. but does it truly matter in the end? if i may borrow the lyrical rhymes of linkin park, "in the end, it doesn't even matter." the ultimate goal and purpose in life is to love and be loved by God. to enjoy God in life and in community. God is ever so gentle when He humbles and provides more than enough for our needs.
