As a pronounced „Martha“, I drove to the seminar „Sitting at Jesus’ feet“ with mixed feelings. I wanted to finally learn what it is like to „choose the good part“ and become a bit more like Maria.
The previous months had been filled with truly great worries in the family. Of course I took all this with me. Right from the beginning I felt richly blessed through Jesus’ presence, as well as through Woiwodes. Already on the second day Jesus freed me through prayer from a very burdensome asthma! The following day the worries returned because of an SMS and the asthma also returned. Jesus showed me that the asthma was produced by my worried thinking. Then I remembered the first evening when Regula Woiwode mentioned 1 Peter 5:6-7. I read the verses carefully and realized that it requires humility to turn my worries over to God. And that is exactly what God expects from us! I had never seen it like that. With much gratitude I put my worries in God’s hands. The pressure from the asthma disappeared immediately.
Now I know better than ever that when I trust God, I don’t have to worry about anything or anyone. I can ask him to take care of it. Jesus told Martha that she was restless and concerned about many things. Now I will consciously and increasingly „choose the good part“ and sit at Jesus’ feet.
Welcome to the next „Sitting at Jesus’ feet“ in Amden April 5-9, 2017.
