It can be hard to love the people around us sometimes. However, God calls us to "stir up one another to love and good works... encouraging one another", so it's important to take the steps to get there.

PRAYER is how we find connection to God. It's a portable anchor and communication line that's completely free. It is a weapon for peace in the world- a way for us to learn how to communicate love and a place to lay down our burdens. As students, it can feel like every new test and assignment is something to complain and stress about. Friends and boys can feel like such vices in our lives and we almost want to drown and be pulled down into our own woes. But God has a space for that. He actually WANTS us to communicate all of the weight we're carrying to Him: the negatives, positives, decisions, situations, thoughts, worries... He can take it. And that's where we find freedom. Freedom to keep going and make the effort to love another eron, to restore our minds and bodies to do the work He's set in front of us. To live the fruitful, joy-filled life He offers. And I invite you to step into it with me.

Blessings,

Speed is the enemy of depth. The faster we chug through life, the less we are able to sit in peace and grow in faith and relationships with others. 

Our lives can feel so go go go so much of the time. It's easy to get caught up in the tests, quizzes, drama and wild waterslides in life and forget about the rest that we need. Without rest, each of us loses the ability to impact others in the way that we desire. Without rest, we begin to falter in health, effectiveness and our realtionship with God. We start to worry and overthink and lose sight of the fact that we are in His hand and secure in His power.

He calls us to rest in our life with Him. He calls us to a relationship and the business of loving others. We need to abide in Him to carry this out. We need to take a breath and take time for quiet joy in His presence. 

I pray you can take this message of abiding with you and truly rest in what he's prepared for your life. Absolute blessings to you, and go SLAY THE DAY!
