Luke 10:42 ”But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
I am so guilty of getting busy doing stuff that I don’t take time to sit at Jesus’ feet. Without great people in my life that have reminded me that taking time to sit at His feet is the most productive use of time I can ever do, I don’t know what I would do in my life; at His feet I have found life. It is at His feet that dreams happen, vision is birthed, possibility comes to life; it is here, at the feet of Christ that I find myself, my call, my direction, and my comfort as Jesus prepares me to go into the world. The times when I don’t “have time” to sit at His feet I find myself lost, spinning in every direction, going in a tizzy; I find myself like Martha, upset and worried about many things. But when I sit at His feet I find a peace that transcends all understanding, a confidence that believes God will guide me in the right direction; I find direction that assures me I will be more productive with less time and seeking Jesus than with more time and not sitting at His feet. It is at His feet that I truly find myself, because there I experience Jesus.
Lord, thank you for the reminder of taking time to sit at your feet today. I am often tempted to bypass this time and get right to work because of all the “things” that have to be done a certain day. Please forgive me for not taking that time the way I should; but I also want to give you praise for giving me the grace to recognize the importance of sitting at your feet. May you continue to work on my heart and guide me along this path during my time sitting at your feet. Give me the grace to know that sitting at your feet is more important than any thing I have to do today and may sitting at your feet this morning inform and transform the rest of my day. Amen!!!

Hey Chad, this is Lauren Bone from WV. I couldn’t sleep and I somehow ended up looking up your new church online where I found this blog. So, I read this latest entry. My life is crazy busy right now with school work, being an RA and being on leadership for Campus Crusade for Christ. God’s been hinting to me that I need to slow down and just be with Him. Our Campus Crusade ministry on my campus seems to be all about “you’ve gotta do this, you’ve gotta do that.” I’ve been so busy that I lost my desire for being involved with ministry on my campus in the first place. Thanks for sharing on your blog and reminding me that sitting at Jesus’ feet is where we find ourselves and our dreams & desires because it’s where we are in His glorious presence!!
