But what if we're missing out on the most important thing? In Luke 10, Martha busied herself with tasks while Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet. Today, we'll explore how we, too, can break free from our busyness and distractions with which we're worrying ourselves, and find true rest and restoration by prioritizing time with Jesus, allowing Him to heal the hurts we've been neglecting."
