Having a Mary's Heart in a Martha's World

Hi Ladies -

For those of you who are finishing up reading our last book, I hope you enjoyed your summer reading so far.  And for those of you who are just joining us for our new study - Welcome!

So if we were sitting around the table in the room at church, we would be introducing ourselves.   So why don't we "virtually" introduce ourselves. 

My name is Debbie, and I can't wait to read this book again.   I know that God will have a new word for me as I read this book again. 

Now, even before you pick up this book, who do you think you are more like - Martha or Mary?  I tend to be more a Martha - busy with details.  But I am learning to be balanced.   I am so excited to be leading you in this study.   Wait and see,  we will be wanting to be a little Martha and a little Mary....

    On a daily basis, I'm a Martha for sure. With 8 kiddos, I seem to keep myself more than busy and find myself desperately wanting to spend more time with my Lord. The only catch is, I also find myself saying, "in a minute, after I finish....". :o\ I am looking very forward to this study, thank you for doing this!

  2. I would say that I'm a Martha, too, but I wonder if in this day and age it's almost impossible to be a Mary without thinking about it. It seems that being a Martha just happens and that being a Mary requires intentionality. I look forward to reading this book and discovering how one woman learned this for herself and is encouraging us in the same.

  3. My name is Joanne and I am very excited to be reading this book. I picked it up once and started reading it a couple of years ago, but never finished. I would say I am definitely a Martha - and I agree with Rachel, how can you not be in this world we live in today. My hope is to move one step forward to being a balance of the two.
