Do you ever feel like Martha but want to be more like Mary? Check out this lesson the Lord is teaching me in a new season of life, while I try to juggle my day to day life.

Scripture I read today is from Luke 10:38-42.

Do you ever feel like sometimes you can do more for the Lord, and that you can really serve Him, but something is just standing in your way? Well, I’m here to read the scripture to you that stood out to me and essentially what I learned is that we need to stop making excuses to follow Jesus, and to be His true disciples.

(Luke 9:57-62)

The only person standing in the way is really ourselves. Rather, you cannot commit to Jesus halfway. Committing to the Lord, definitely take sacrifice. I believe we got to stop making excuses and saying “not now, Lord”.

In this New Year’s episode, I reflect on how God often teaches me through one defining word each year—2025 was a year all about forgiveness. I share my personal journey of learning why forgiveness isn’t always easy, why it doesn’t depend on whether others apologize or deserve it, and how it ultimately sets me free. Drawing from Scripture and my own experiences, I encourage listeners to let go of resentment, bitterness, and past hurts as we step into 2026 with clean hearts. This episode is a reminder that forgiveness is a powerful act of obedience, healing, and spiritual freedom.
