Last night was one of those nights I lay in bed with a weight on my chest, unsure if I could hold the weight of future transitions.
A book tour. Launch. Moving to Tanzania. Starting a new endeavor with a new vision. Helping our kids transit.
It felt like too much.
Then I woke up to this— Tim Keller’s podcast entitled “With the Anxious.” (Insert hyperlink: https://open.spotify.com/episode/036v2N4VKAAYT0prcUhKdt?si=f2UVHs_SRPWgatKrXstpXQ)
A message about how Martha was chided not just for being busy, but for being busy serving.
If God knows you can only manage 3 things well a day and you’re doing 10, it means you brought the 7 on yourself.
As obvious as that sounds, THAT BLEW ME AWAY.
Friends, if you’re anxious and frenzied, look at your schedule. Cancel. Say no. Make room for Him like He needs you to. Like Mary, choose the better thing.
