As women, our lives often feel like one big “To Do List,” which never feels completed. There is always more that needs to be done. In society, we are often forced to be “Marthas” or perhaps take great delight in being “a Martha,” serving our families and our community. Yet, true joy and contentment are found not in our circumstances but in God Himself. He is the One who gives us the ability to enjoy His gifts as we look to Him as our source. As we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. We will find a contentment that no circumstance can give and no circumstance can take away.

Following the example of Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus to listen to Him, rather than becoming distracted with other things like Martha, set aside time to join us in retreat. Listen to your interior and explore how you can have a Mary heart in a Martha world.

This retreat was created from the book by Joanna Weaver, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World.
