Once a month I have the privilege of joining several ladies as we learn from a woman who has been gifted by God to understand His word and apply it in very practical ways. I call this very special time my "Mary Moments" because I am mostly a Martha living in a Martha world. In Luke chapter 10 we learn that Mary wants to sit at Jesus' feet and listen and learn while her sister, Martha, is busy "taking care of things." she gets agitated at Mary because Mary wasn't helping, but Martha had a choice - she didn't have to do the preparations. So, today, I sat and listened to our dear teacher as she explained what leadership is from God's perspective. You know what I learned and it is hard for me. . I learned that it is not all about me and how much preparation I do or how hard I work, but rather it is about me saying, "Jesus, this is all I have" and allowing Him to work through me. That is exactly what He wants - it isn't about me and it is about Him. When I allow God to work through me and my life as it is, that is when things begin to happen. Hmmm...maybe I'll get more sleep since I don't have to do it all...that's another story.
