LET IT GO!

12/31/23
Lay aside every encumbrance. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Let go of the unnecessary. The heavy. The bulk. 
Let go of worry. 
Let go of digital distractions.
Let go of expectations of pleasing others over the Lord.

Travel light. Do less. 
Get rid of unhealthy habits.

Run with endurance. 
Fellowship with God's people fuels endurance.
Daily allow God's word to energize you.
Make most of your time. (Ephesians 5:15)

Fix eyes on Jesus! 
Make Jesus your daily FOCUS!
Don't let Him go.

Simplici-TEA

3/7/12 Sometimes it’s good to ease up on the accelerator in life. (1,000 words, Commercial Appeal 2/26/12)
Hearkening to those words, after my “retreating” has me hankering to do just that.
It’s the “cuppa” I hope to drink great draughts from this month, especially in my blog. May it be good medicine for my soul and yours as well.
Saying more with fewer words. Slowing down to consider big ideas from small portions of passages, etc.
Simply tea---though a stronger tea for energy
Flying to Texas today. The next 10 days will be spent with all my Texans in Allen, TX and then driving with them back to Memphis on Saturday. They will be here for Spring Break so-o-o today is probably a great time to start. I also hope to plan more moments of solitude and to find a quiet place where I can focus on God. In the past, sitting with one of the little Texans in my lap during my quiet time has given me a great focus and understanding of the simplici-TEA of His love. A love, that when fully accepted, overlows to others.
