Martha Pasour???

This morning I went to wake Chloe up.  She sat up in the bed, rubbed her eyes and said "I wish we only went to school on the weekends."  I said "Well, if we're talking wishes, I wish so SO much that we could afford to have our house cleaned weekly.  Quick-thinking-Chloe says "I don't want anybody messing with my stuff.  I know where my stuff is."  I said "You mean the trash and junk?"  "Yes."  "Well, I tell you what, if we can ever afford to have our house cleaned, I'll tell them to leave your room alone.  Deal?"  "Deal."  This child is a trip. 

I do wish I had a person that I could pay to clean my house.  I know what you think about me, but that's ok.  No, really, it's ok.  I was talking to someone the other day and he asked me what my goals were in life.  I told him I would rather have my house maintained than have success in songwriting.  'Cause that looms over me-always.  I need more than a Saturday.  I need about a month to get things cleaned and in order and then 2 days a week.  I let this control me.  Overwhelm me.  To a point of tremendous stress.

Well, it's just like the Lord to allow me to stumble across something I need to hear.

At the Home of Martha and Mary
 Luke 10:38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

 41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

In the devotion book it has some questions listed.  My answer to one of them made me wonder if my real name is Martha Pasour.

If Jesus were to come to visit you toay, would you busy yourself with preparations, as Martha did, or sit at his feet like Mary? 

The answer for this day is that I would've done exactly what Martha did.  I would've wanted things perfect and would've been upset with anyone who felt otherwise.  

The thing that makes me so mad at me, is I know how this is effecting my everything.  God help me, please!  Whatever.  Show me.  Help me. 

As we were driving to school, I'm ill at myself, so my subtle trick is acting ill at someone else.  So Chloe and the little boy who rides to school with us start slapping each other in a very joking way.  I turn around and give the evil eye.   I said "stop that right now."  Chloe said "Aw c'mon.  We're 3rd graders, can't we have 3rd grade fun?"Smile  HM, that's what I need.  Some 3rd grade fun.
