Sitting at the feet of Jesus

Last week devotions was on Luke 10:38-42 

"Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She has a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me." But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." 

These verses apply to my life so much right now. Here I am, at Word of life Bible Institute, in a little town in the middle of no where. Sometimes it feels like I am just wasting my time here, but looking back on these verses it reminds me that this is my year to sit at the feet of Jesus. I want to be like Mary. I want to learn all I can about my God. I don't want to be like Martha distracted by all the things of this world. Reading these verses always reminds me of why I am here. I will never get another year to just sit at the feet of Jesus. I am so thankful that I have a God who loves me so much! He is amazing!

Kylie, I am so glad that you are doing well and enjoying your time at school. You have many people praying for you and it seems that the Lord is really blessing you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers; may you continue to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". I look forward to seeing you at Thanksgiving and getting to talk to you in more detail about what you have been doing.
