Do it all or do what matters?

I spend a lot of my time doing a lot of things. I am a contstant multitaskers and often take on way more than I can handle, physically and emotional. So...right when I need it a book pops into my mailbox.
The Life Ready Woman by Shaunti Feldhann & Robert Lewis

The official intro to the book (bold emphasis is mine)

Are you a ‘Doing it all’ or ‘Do what matters’ woman?
Whether a stay at home; or working mom, an airplane-hopping executive, an empty-nester caring for multiple generations or a single juggling high demands of career and personal life, today's fast-paced modern world leaves women gasping for balance. We as modern Christian women want to look to the Bible for guidance on how to manage our lives -- but because the world of women looks so different today than it did when the Bible was written, it is hard to find chapter and verse that seems to apply to our situation today.
Thankfully, God has given us exactly that timeless, unchanging guidance for how to find peace, clarity, and God's best for our lives once we know where to look! The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World, reveals a profound biblical road map for how each of us can find the abundant life we are longing for, rather than the stressful, torn, how-do-I-balance-it-all life we often feel like we are trying to keep up with today. Actually being a LifeReady Woman means that you are clear about your life, bold in your faith, and able to find God’s best for you, and the end result will be that you not only survive but thrive in our do-it-all world.
God has given every wonderfully unique woman different skills and abilities, different desires, and different temperaments -- and every woman around the planet and through the ages is certainly living in different circumstances. But no matter what a woman’s life looks like, the Bible says that God has an individual mission and plan that He’s carefully designed for each of us. And He wants us to find it. Starting January 2011, The Life Ready Woman and the Life Ready Woman Video Series will help every wonderfully unique woman to thrive as she identifies and courageously pursues God's unique design and callings for her. LifeReady Woman puts you on a road map to make decisions that will lead to relief, delight, and fulfillment instead of regret.

My mother once gave me wise advice. "Go to the Throne before you go to the phone." Feldhan notes that a researchers named Celinda Lake and Kellyanne Conway found that a huge transition has taken place. They write "without fanfare, almost stealthily, America has become women-centric...Women - from seniors to boomers to Generation X and Y - are recasting the nation in their image and 'shaking culture to its core'."

This leads me back to my mothers quote....Go to the Throne before you go to the phone. Feldhan and Lewis have hit the nail right on the head. The "modern" woman has so many choices in front of them every single day. There is really one place to get the wisdom a modern woman needs to succeed and in the unique calling for everyone woman (and man's) life.

The Life Ready Woman theme is this: a woman who are clear about our lives, bold in our faith and and able to find God's best for us!
