| The school year is coming quickly to a close. It's that time of year when the weather warms up, the shorts and sandals come out and we can see the end of school so clearly! It's almost summer and time for vacations and camp and friends... but first - exams. It causes such stress, but why? Are you expected to stress over it? We lose so much time worrying! Have you ever noticed what you miss when you're so consumed with worry? Consider this: "You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it. But know also that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it. Live footloose and fancy-free;
You won't be young forever.
Youth lasts about as long as smoke."
Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 (MSG)
Being young is hard sometimes; much harder than it really should be. Society wants you to have your life planned out and to have a complete resume built by the time you're 14...and even that's late! Don't misunderstand. It is good to do your best. Your best. Not someone else's idea of what your best is. What would it be like to do your best just for you; to fully enjoy and experience life as it unfolds? What would it be like to live footloose and fancy free and to really just be you...the you God created you to be? Praying you enjoy playing just to play this week.... |
