What if the new FAST was SIMPLY SLOW?
To stop for a millisecond
Enough to take a breath
to actually feel the inhale & exhale
& then to smile after it.
What if?
What gets in the way of the SIMPLY SLOW?
Those things that we run to
REAL FAST
when we don't want to
feel what we are feeling
do what we are doing
being what are being.
What if August is the time to be
SIMPLY SLOW
by FASTING from whatever gets in the way of living
REAL SIMPLY.
To FAST from
a habit
a thought
an anxiety
a bitterness an anger
an ___________~
by exchanging it
for a
SIMPLE TRUTH
that seems to be so hard to do in the moment of choice,
but you do it anyway
so the hard gets
REAL SIMPLE.
It is so SIMPLE that life doesn't have to feel so hard~
"Submit yourselves, then, to GOD. Resist the devil, & he will flee from you" (Jame 4:7)
It is so SIMPLE that life doesn't have to feel so hard~
"Draw near to GOD and HE will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
It is so SIMPLE that life doesn't have to feel so hard~
"Grieve, mourn and wail.
Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom"(James 4:9)
It is so SIMPLE that life doesn't have to feel so hard~
"Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the LORD, and HE will exalt you [HE will lift you up, HE will give you purpose]" (James 4:10)
So let's take off our sneakers
and stop making life so much harder by running in the wrong direction
and instead
FAST from what we do that makes life harder
by
Drawing closer to the
REAL SIMPLE TRUTHS
in the midst of
hard.
Join us on a 31 Day Journey
of
LIVING REAL SIMPLE
as we
SIMPLY come back to
"THE HEART OF WORSHIP" (listen to the song below)
