It’s easier to be busy.
It’s easier to cruise around social media.
It’s easier to claim all the possibilities and responsibilities offered and then have no margins at all.
It’s easier to not think.
It’s easier to not feel.
It’s easier to stay vague.
It’s easier to keep going as you are used to…
…than to be still and be engaged where you are, one thing and one person at a time.
…than to make real plans with a smaller amount of people and really know their hearts and their families and share life with them, intentionally.
…than to keep things simple and live in direct obedience rather than frantic doing.
…than to pause and listen to the Lord’s thoughts about us and our situations.
…than to possibly hurt in a way we don’t know how to fix.
…than to ask the Holy Spirit for razor-sharp clarity on what exactly we are afraid of or on what habit is driving us farther and farther from the peace of God.
…than to stop and see, and be brave enough to change course.
