The Martha Syndrome

Luke 10:38-42
    Jesus says to Martha - "you are worried and upset over all these details!  There is only one thing worth being concerned about."


Everyday, I worry over details - if something doesn't go as I planned or as I think it should I get upset like Martha and lash out like she did.  It doesn't matter how little or big.  Jesus is saying not to look at details and get upset.  The big picture of spending time with the Lord is more important.  There is a time and place for details, but if things get out of whack, just go with it.  In the long run, it won't matter - Salvation, spending time in the Lord's Word, learning it and living it are really all that matter in the end!

4:00 a.m.

It is 4:00 in the morning, and I can't sleep.  I feel like God is telling me to spend time with him.  A few years ago, I had this idea to start a blog and Facebook page called R3 - Refresh, Renew, Revive.  I was looking into it this morning, and have found a Facebook page and book with that name.  I don't want to use that.  Then I remember came up with HHC - Healing Hands Cards, a few years ago.  That didn't really work out.  So I was sitting on my couch thinking about what I could do.  I really feel like God is calling me to start a blog about His Word, to reach out to people and help them find Him.  (Plus, it will help me in my walk!!) Then it hit me.... I have a blog LAT - Love All Teaching. This is not about teaching in a classroom, but what God can teach me and those who read this.  If you read the information about me you may remember that I said this blog will have a myriad of topics.  Well, this is going to be the most important topic: GOD AND HIS TEACHINGS!!  I hope you will read on, and not be discouraged by seeing this is about God.  I just want to write what He tells me to.  I am not a Bible thumper, I am not a preacher, I just a woman trying to follow God's will for her life.  I will continue to blog about things I do in my classroom, but there will be times that I will blog about the most important thing in my life: my faith and my family.  I pray for each of you that read this.  God Bless and Good Morning ;-)
