SIMPLICITY ANGST

5/15/13 Ackkk..........simplicity is such a complex issue. Anything but simple---at least to me! How do I  teach it and keep from making it one more item on someone's to-do list??  The DOs and DON'Ts are so-o-o legalistic!

Look at all those bookmarks and post-it notes.  14 books--- Simply overwhelming!

The problem might not be in the lesson preparation but in my heart prep. 

Sarah Young's Jesus Calling entry (5/3) came to mind. Am I trying to please God or man? Any teacher likes to be affirmed BUT GOD says we cannot serve 2 Masters. 

He has called me to this task so I need to trust Him for the results.

But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. (I Thess 2:4 ESV)
