Let’s interact!

I need your help readers, if you are out there!? In an effort to communicate with readers, I thought I would ask some questions. I am trying to understand some specific heart struggles for women- as I continue to study and grow in similar areas.

I am going to ask 10 questions for the next several weeks. I would love to hear what your answers are!

Here is the first one!

1. In the Mary and Martha story (Luke 10), Jesus rebukes Martha for being distracted with much serving. Where do you find that you get distracted and your eyes are just on your tasks and your heart becomes disengaged?

Thanks for thinking, praying, and answering!

In Christ,

Trisha

I think my biggest struggle is in the balance. We have to have to get things done, but we also have to sit at the feet of Jesus. I seem to be all one way or another going in jags until the neglect of one or the other becomes glaringly apparent.

Hi Trisha

I’ve recently come across your blog, and it really fits with some issues that I’m working through in my life at the moment, so thank you. I really enjoy reading your posts.

Perhaps my main area of distraction is, a bit like Martha, cooking and hospitality! They are not my strengths. I’m not known as a great cook, and yet feel as if I need to make something more than just ‘reasonably edible’ when people come round. It doesn’t help that I’m a perfectionist, and with 3 little ones running round my feet, getting in the way or wanting to help, my stress levels rise and I find it hard to remember to worship or to pray while I’m busy in the kitchen on such occasions. I feel a lot of sympathy with Martha. Maybe Jesus didn’t need to eat much, but most of my guests expect to have a decent meal within half an hour or so of arriving.

I also struggle with balance, or prioritizing what is most important … it often feels as though some area of life is suffering. It is hard to know what to chose to do with the precious time that I have. It feels like there is always a trade off. Do I spend the afternoon playing trucks? Will it be OK for dinner to be late? Do I mop the floors instead of going to be at a decent hour? How do I fit in more scripture study, serving in ministry, and personal learning into that already busy schedule? So, like Martha, I get distracted from Jesus and focused about my tasks.

Thanks for your blog Trisha and this way to respond. Always enjoy checking in with you here. :) Lots of love to you my friend!
