Squirrels on Meth

Squirrels are busy, hardworking, quick and a bit fidgety…

Now, imagine a squirrel on meth:

Anxious.

Super fast.

Stressed out.

Repetitive, obsessive behavior.

Teeth clenching and grinding.

Dark circles under the eyes.

Lack of sleep.

Unpredictable.

Paranoid.

Irritable.

Scary.

Sometimes we behave like squirrels on meth. We go beyond busy and hardworking. We end up stressed out, anxious, irritable, losing sleep, dark circles under our eyes.

That’s no good.

Stress and grace run in opposite directions.

Go with grace… you’ll enjoy the journey and love the destination!

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?

Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn how to live freely and lightly.” -Jesus (Matthew 11.28-30 MSG)
