At the feet of jesus

I read this extract from David's facebook and i thought it really speaks to a lot of us..

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, they came to a village where
a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister named
Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to His teachings. But Martha was
distracted with all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him
and asked, "Lord, dont you care that my sister has left me to
do the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me! "
"Martha Martha," the lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many
things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it
will not be taken away from her. "
Luke 10:38-42

Many of us like Martha, As exams draws near and deadlines creep closer, we get so busy to make those deadlines that we get distracted. We tell ourselves we wna serve God thru studying, or do well for the glory of God. Yet too often we fall into the trap of being distracted.

God is giving us a startling rebuke, "you are worried about too many things, but only one thing is needed." How is your prayer life? How is your time with God? If we are really trying to serve God through studying, let us not neglect the necessary thing-- to sit at the Lord's sit and listen to his teaching. Jesus would rather you not score that A, or not take that high flying job, if you are going to compromise your relationship with him. (summary of what he said)

I was disappointed abt my grades (which is not bad but you knw sometimes you would thk you deserved better :p). Hmm... I thought I wrote them quite well, but apparent teachers dont thk so.. and no comments... so i can't know where i should improve. tutors should always give constructive comments!

God must be wondering, wad is she worrying about? She alr got her dream job, she jus needa maintain 3.4 (not even 3.5 :p)! Hmm.. Yup like wad rach said, i shudn be discouraged! i shud continue to work hard! i shud continue to absorb as much as i can to help my students, or skills that could help advance His kingdom. I shudn be caught up with grades with the rest of the Uni... =)

i managed to shake it off, cuz grades doesnt make a big diff (unless i failed miserably of cuz due to my negligence). At most is our pay, but even so, THAT is not significant.

Research shows that our satisfaction with life doesnt
increase with an increasing income once your income exceeds the amount needed for you to fulfill your basic needs.

How silly is it if we get depressed over our grades! haha wad we shud be worrying abt is that if we missed an opportunity to share christ, if we stumbled our fellow brothers and sisters, if we failed to be a good testimony, if we are too busy to sit at the feet of Jesus...
