Kelly's Story

     This is the third of our testimonies—A Lay Witness Mission via the Internet—and I feel certain that many of you will identify with Kelly’s having been burned-out, trying so hard to be a good Christian. I also feel that many of you will wish you had the courage/freedom to do what she has done, and cease being a “Martha” and become a “Mary.” Resting in God’s love for her! Imagine that!     

     And by the way, since Kelly stopped being so busy doing all of those “good” things, the heart of the Body of Christ hasn’t skipped a single beat. Finally, she stopped doing “good” deeds and started doing the work that He prepared for her from the foundation of the world—the work of righteousness. If you would like to encourage Kelly, and I encourage you to do so, you can email her at the following address: kelly4israel@yahoo.com

My decision to become a part of The Believers’ Club was based upon my past years of doing the “church” thing—serving in various ways, prayer groups, Bible studies, volunteer in the church office, mission trips, et al, (all of these good things, in and of themselves). I became completely burned out and finally stopped doing all of the above—period. Now I rest in God’s love for me, and I trust Him in deeper ways than I ever realized could be possible, until I stopped trying to be a good Christian and let go of the control I thought I had, and just trust Him—period. When I was no longer so busy and pre-occupied with all the things to do, (like Martha), I sat at His feet, (like Mary), and noticed that God started to do a deep work in my soul, in those areas that need His touch and His healing.
