From My Journal: Sitting at Jesus Feet
My journal from 21April2007 reads:
Mikko left me alone today. Timothy and I are at home while "the other boys" drove to Heinola for the day. It's been a long time since I last journaled. My dream is to wake-up five in the morning (Yah, I am wierd that way) with Timothy sleeping through the night so I can get up and have quiet times.
I struggle between "doing" and "being". I want so much to get projects and organizing completed that when the opportunity arrises, God calls me to be still.
"Lord, how do you espect me to get anything done?!"
Mary sat at Jesus' feet. Why do I have to be Martha and get the be still lesson over and over and over again?!
There is joy and no other peace than being with Jesus. I may have to be content being still while the boys are content playing by themselves (which is when I decide to "get things done').
And have you seen those Christians who are restless? (Well, ya Heidi...you). And then those who have sat at Jesus feet? My husband is a real example of doing that and I see peace and joy in him. He reminds me everyday to be still...even if it be 10 minutes.
