“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one things is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42 NIV
Do the words worried, busy, upset, and distracted describe you today? You are in full swing with your summer schedule and you find yourself trying to juggle many activities daily.
Your work is demanding more hours because many are out on vacation. Your children need extra care because they are home for the summer. You’re trying to work in a family vacation but realize that is next to impossible between work and summer camps.
Today stop for a moment and listen as Jesus says, “You are worried about many things, but only one thing is needed.” That one thing is Him.
Follow Mary's lead, spend time sitting at Jesus' feet even though choas is all around you.
During these crazy months of summer, don't forget to be crazy in love with Him.

Step Out of the Traffic
We live in a busy society. We run all day long from dropping kids off at school, to work, to meetings and lunch appointments. We run to pick up kids up from school and then from activity to activity in the evenings. Busy, busy, busy! Our daily checklists cry out, do, do, do!
Henry Blackaby writes in Experiencing God, “I think God is crying out and shouting to us, ‘Don’t just do something. Stand there! Enter into a love relationship with Me. Get to know Me. Adjust your life to Me. Let Me love you and reveal Myself to you.’”
Psalm 46:10 in The Message says, “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at Me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”
Step out of the rat race. Linger in God’s word more than you linger over political issues in the newspaper. Be still and come to know God above everything.

KISS
Keep it simple - in marriage, grief, joy, whatever. Even in ordinary things - your daily routines of shopping, and so on. 1 Corinthians 7:29-30
Have you heard of the KISS method? Keep It Simple, Sister!
How we love to complicate our lives? If we are not careful our days become routines of juggling school schedules, work schedules, meetings, phone calls, babysitters, meals and even shopping.
I so appreciate my friends who are organized. Not only are their daily planners organized, but their schedules, shopping lists and family times are too. Because organization is not one of my natural abilities, I think I complicate things more so as I strive to be like my friends. However, it is not about being like my friends. It is about keeping it simple in every ordinary thing I do, so that I have time to spend with the Lord, hear Him and obey.
KISS, KISS.
Keep it simple, sista!
