Hello, Sisters! Below are the links to the Sister Circles video and study guide for this month's study on the discipline of SIMPLICITY, from Chapter 6 in the book Celebration of Discipline, by Richard Foster.
God doesn't desire that we struggle to follow Him. Satan wants to confuse us and keep us busy and striving in every area of life. Christ invites us to rest - literally and spiritually - by trusting Him and believing we don't have to do it all or have it all. I pray that you will take some time this weekend to remember the truth that God is for you and God is faithful. We can choose to stop and spend time sitting with God and His Word. The world won't fall apart if we stop and breathe for a few minutes. ♥️
While we're on the topic of simplicity, I want to mention that it's okay to pursue simplicity in your spiritual life, too. We may be studying a variety of spiritual practices right now, but it doesn't mean you are expected to practice them all every day or week or even every month. If you do and it's life-giving to you and God is meeting you as you practice them, GREAT. But faithfulness and consistency in one or two areas might be all God is calling you to right now. So take heart. God's plans to help you grow are personalized exactly for you and they don't have to look like anyone else's, even if we can learn from each other.
Speaking of learning together, we'd love to have you at one of the gatherings taking place this month! We're meeting this week - Sunday, 3/8 at church at 9:00AM (childcare available! - Don't forget to change your clock!) We're also meeting Wednesday, 3/11 at church at 10:00 AM, and Friday, 3/13 at 7PM at Starbucks. Get in touch with me if you need more information!
Have a blessed week!
Melissa
