It seems the Lord is challenging me to consider the clutter of my life--those things I do that keep me from having some free time, some freedom, some time to be a Mary--not a Martha. Interestingly enough--I've suddenly received an unusual number of stationery orders the last few days I've been mulling this over. I'm a-thinking that God is challenging me to walk away?

In any event, here's the latest. Today, I was reading Hebrews 12:1-2, and thought, "Okay, what is hindering my race? What is weighing me down--keeping me from running freely? What is keeping me running on a treadmill instead of running the course He has for me--unhindered?" AND, instead of praying for the Lord to help me do what I need to do today, I felt convicted to pray, "Lord, what do you want me to BE? Help me not even think about what I need to do--but who do I need to be?"

What an exciting and challenging time...
