Kicking Off the Week with Some Perspective
Alright, here we go again. Another week, another inbox that looks like it’s been hoarding emails since 2003, a to-do list that somehow grew legs, and that low-key panic of needing to have life completely figured out before Monday even shows up. Fun, right?
But let’s take a second here. Sundays weren’t designed for us to spiral about the week ahead. Nope, they’re supposed to be the day we hit pause, take a breath, and remember who’s actually running the show. (Spoiler: it’s not us.)
And hey, Easter is just around the corner, which feels like the perfect reminder of this: the biggest, heaviest, most impossible thing? Already taken care of. The tomb? Empty. The work? Done. Jesus handled it. So maybe, just maybe, we don’t have to carry all the stuff we’re lugging around like emotional pack mules.
Here’s the challenge: pick one thing you’ve been white-knuckling—whether it’s a worry, a relationship, or some outcome you’re desperately trying to control—and set it down. Just for today. Not because it’s not important, but because you were never meant to carry it solo.
So, what’s one thing you can let go of right now—something that wasn’t yours to carry in the first place?
He is risen, my friends. And that changes everything about how we step into Monday. Let’s walk a little lighter this week. You in?
