Who Am I...Martha and Mary

I read this book a few years ago. I like this book . I also like the author, Camille Fronk Olson. I have heard her speak at Women's Conference at BYU-Provo. She is an intelligent and spiritual woman! I like her portrayal of these two beautiful sisters in the scriptures. There is a little of Martha and Mary in all of us. Both sisters had 'chosen that good part'...learning from the Savior and implementing His teaching and example in their lives. Martha found that 'One needful' thing... learning from the Savior. I like the picture on the front of the book with the oil lamp. The wick is trimmed and burning brightly. It has adequate oil. It represents to me our testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the living water that if we partake we will never thirst.

I love the scriptures. I love learning. I am grateful that each day I am given another opportunity to try and be better.
Am I careful and troubled and cumbered by many things?
Greek translation...
Careful-worried, anxious, full of cares.
Troubled-bothered by surrounding circumstances, disturbed about things.
Cumbered-preoccupied, distracted.

Do I take offense easily?
Do I judge others righteously?
Do I freely forgive?

It was good to reread this book again. I will definitely be rereading 'A Heart Like His' and 'Mary, Martha, and Me' (Diana) throughout this year. When I put my name in there it helps me to focus on what I need to be doing. While I am reading other works at the present time, these two books are additional sub manuals while supping from the 'scriptures' which is my main handbook and focus.
