Cleaning House
Do you have some messes in your life? Maybe you see all the things piling up around you. Maybe you have known for a while that there are things you need to deal with. Problems with friends. Challenges with parents. Maybe you are a different person at school than you are at home or at church. Maybe you have felt your relationship with God slip further and further to the background of your life, as "more pressing, more urgent, more important," things have taken His place.
Now that we have been forced to slow down, maybe this can be the time we have been waiting for, but have never had. Maybe now we can finally take care of all those "House Cleaning" things that we have been putting off for so long.
What do you need to take care of? What has been lacking in your life? What has taken too much of your time, and your energy and your attention? How can you cut those things out and get your house in order?
It's time to clean house.
(This lesson comes from Clark Bundy, who told me that he had something he wanted to share. In the coming weeks, I would love to have some of our teens bring a message that God has placed on their hearts, that they would like to share with the rest of the group. If you have something that you'd like to share, please let me know!)
