Just For You! Adult Resources

Dear Parents/Guardians,

If you are anything like me, time slips away before you know it. Tending to kids and a family, running a household and working one or more jobs or maybe even going to school, can really drain us.  Is it any wonder why we live in a society that is eternally stressed out? We have no time to slow down and when we do, it seems like we need to take care of what we haven't time for before.

But if we listen to the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), we hear Jesus calling us to sit down and focus on him for awhile. When Martha asks Jesus to scold Mary for not helping her with the dinner prep or cleanup, but instead sat at his feet and listened to him, Jesus tells Martha, "Martha, you are anxious about many things. But Mary has chosen the better part..." 

Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer, being shored up by his Father for the task at hand. If he needed it, don't we need that much more?

So, I invite you to check out some of these online resources, you may already know about them but in case  you don't, these are tried and true.
