As you go through your week, use the Message Action Plan below to help put the things you’ve learned into practice.

RUN DON’T WALK OR WALK DON’T RUN?
Doug Fields

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

   Ask yourself why you just said yes to something.
3. Red light: STOP saying “yes” and develop a “no” muscle.
   
   Ask yourself what you need to say no to.
4. Green light: GO on a relaxed walk with Jesus.
   
   Bring a recognition of Jesus’ presence with you into everything you do today.
