We kicked off our series called, "Simplify Your Life" on Sunday! We're talking about how we get so busy, say "yes" to so much and find ourselves spending time mediocre things, rather than great things. This series will help you simplify your life and spend time on what matters most.
Lives for students are so much busier than ever before! You've got plays, practices, sports, homework, extracurricular activities, friends and we can't forget...God! That's why Jesus says, “Are you tired? Worn out? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28-29, MSG)
Take some time this week to think about...

Take some time this week to think about...
- What symptom of busyness do you relate to the most – Constant Clutter, Addicted to Speed, Multi-tasking, Relationship Fatigue, Spiritual Emptiness? What causes that in your life?
- Do you agree with the reason we say “yes” to so much…the fact that we want to be loved? Why or why not?
- Do you believe that God is crazy about you? Have you experienced His crazy love? If yes, when and what was that like? If no, are you open to His love for you?
- What can you do this week to slow down and recognize God’s love for you and His values?
