Beth...Listening to Him: About Me

Hi! And welcome to Listening to Him. The name of my blog comes from the story in Luke 10:38-42. Jesus is in the home of Mary and Martha in Bethany. Martha is consumed with serving everyone, which I have a tendency to do too, but Mary is sitting at Jesus' feet in the posture of a disciple, a student, learning from the Master Teacher. I want to be that more.

Now, for a little about me. I'm a former middle school teacher turned homeschool mom! I have four amazing kids that I get to spend my days with and I love it!

We have lived in a lot of different places, one of which was Hawaii. We all miss it!

On this particular day, my daughter and I walked almost all the way out to the end of this long reef. It is one of my favorite memories.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Diploma in Pastoral Ministry. On my blog you will find posts about homeschool, minimalism, books, and Jesus.

I hope you enjoy your time here, learn something new, and your life is touched by the Word of God. Many blessings to you!

Luke 10:38-42

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
