  1. So what about those highly sensitive people who love risks? Not social risks, mind you. But I thoroughly LOVE sky-diving and “outdoor” risks, but often skip church because I can’t stand small-talk and the large group setting…

    1. If you read any of Dr. Elaine Aron’s work, she breaks HSPs down further into HSS (high sensation seeking) and non-HSS. It sounds like you might be an HSS HSP, which does give us some different conflicts when it comes to establishing boundaries and knowing when to step back and practice self care 🙂

  2. Linda McCamey says:

    This study leaves me with: “I believe!” Jesus questions Martha: . . .”Do you believe this ?” (Vs. 26) again, (vs.40)”if you would believe”, again, (vs.42)”that they may believe”.
    Three times Jesus centers his response on believing who he is and what comes with that. My response is: “I BELIEVE!”
    Which is comforting right now. Thank you Lord Jesus, that you are my risen Savior and someday I will rise to be with you, if I die before your return.

  3. Thank you, Cheri. This is very helpful. I am blessed.

    I especially thank God for you for reaching/teaching my daughter, too. You are helping her in ways I didn’t know how.

    You remain in our prayers!

  4. I’ve always loved this story. In my opinion, Mary is one of the finest Biblical examples of a female HSP, and the way Jesus interacts with her, in the few stories we have of the two of them, never fails to both touch and encourage me. I love that Jesus validates both Mary and Martha by responding to them both in the vastly different ways that *they* need to be responded to.
