Are you busy busy busy serving many people when the most important guest in your home (JESUS) is just waiting for your listening ear and your attention? We are all guilty of "Martha syndrome" at times. However, did you know that even Jesus got weary? Even Jesus told His disciples that they needed to take time to come apart and rest? Without that refreshing time away, we are all prone to spiritual fatigue and burnout. Many think, "Well I just need a vacation!" But sometimes even our recreation and vacation time can leave us more weary than when we started. But if we are willing to step away from all the world offers and just get away alone with God in nature for a time, we will discover some amazing blessings that God is just waiting to pour out upon us. Well it has obviously been awhile since I've shared a podcast. I have to admit that I had "Martha" syndrome, sort of, and I needed a break. You all have probably been wondering where I've been. In this episode, I will catch you up on why I chose to step away and I will share some surprising places God has taken me in His Word as He's drawn my heart closer to Him. I pray that the lessons He's been teaching me can also be a blessing and an encouragement to all of you! Sometimes we just need to turn off the phone, close the computer, tune out life's busy distractions... and step away for some extended time alone with God in nature!
