Being a Mary in a Martha World

I've never been one to sit around and do nothing.  I'm always busy going about doing s.o.m.e.t.h.i.n.g.  Whether it is sewing, household responsibilities, running errands, dreaming up new construction plans, or organizing something I'm not one to be idle.

This "problem" is another reason why I took a 30-day FB break.  I need to learn to sit at the feet of Jesus and have some quiet time alone with him each day.  I'm terrible about making this a priority and so I'm making it a priority during my hiatus from FB. 

Monday, Day 4 was quite busy and yet I feel as though I accomplished very little.  Hummm, maybe because a lot of revolved around sitting....
*sent some much needed emails that I've been putting off for a month or two
*switched cell phone service from ATT and Verizon (now maybe we'll have reception when we're out and about...(can you hear me now?)
*printed construction plans for the boys' bedroom furniture set (see modgepodgecrafting.blogspot.com soon for details on that endeavor) and totally revamping the entire plan to suit the boys' needs and to lose less storage space
*helped E find a new swim suit, why does it have to be sooo hard to find appropriate/modest swimwear for young ladies these days?  I think bikinis don't leave enough to the imagination, if you get what I'm saying!
*email deleting mission day 4, I'm now below 9,000 emails, will this mission ever be complete?
*a trip to the library to pick up the Chicken Coop book I requested...see I'm always dreaming ;)
*and, of course, the mandatory trip out to the barn cats and horses.  They are truly teaching me to be Mary as I set and enjoy all that God has made in the beauty of His creation!

On a side note, the first day I REALLY missed FB!  I found myself mechanically going to the app on my phone.  The 2nd day I only found myself wishing I could check up on people and pass some time 2x.  Yesterday I only missed it once, and that was because I wanted to ask a question in a forum so I could complete a project I was working on yesterday.


Tomorrow I hope to get some more unpacking done, more photos hung on the walls, more cleaning around the house done, another batch of weed killer made and applied, and the rest of the constructions plan drawn up so I can get to Home Depot to purchase all the lumber to get this project started.
