Simplify

Prior to simplifying your life:

Realize that God is bigger than all of our sins and brokenness. “Let hope rise and darkness tremble in Your Holy Light.”

Simplifying Your Life:

*Ask yourself what your motive is. Is your motivation towards simplifying for your own gratification or for God’s?

*Think of all of the people in the world who have SO little, but are still SO joyful. Remember that joy is available for everyone. 

*How to simplify: (It’s simple) Love the Lord. “Love isn’t complicated. People are.” Love is simple. 

*Think of what complicates your life. Time, jealousy, fear, etc?

*Love God in the midst of what you are doing.

*Don’t misplace your desire. For example, don’t desire for a certain situation to end up a certain way. Such things can complicate your life. 

*For girls: Mirrors complicate our lives because we spend so much time looking into them. Acceptance complicates our lives because we are constantly looking for it. Selfies complicate our lives because we take fifty before we use one. 

*Ask yourself, “Am I/ Why am I afraid to let God love and accept me?”

*When you fully surrender and give your life to the Lord, He takes the complications, and helps untangle them. 

And to end this whole thing:

Algebra is complicated, and from the wise words of Marla Crisman:

“You will never use algebra!”
