The truth is… life is full of trials that threaten to consume us. The little things. The big things. The kid things. The relationship things. Little by little we are consuming ourselves with these "things" and we don’t even know it. In fact, we are too busy trying to make it look better (ya know- on social media) and pretending that our lives look like everyone else’s to even notice the truth about it all.But our negligence doesn’t change the facts. We are consumed. Burned out. Stressed out. Unhealthy. And most of all unhappy.Day after day we get back on the hamster wheel chasing some “perfect life” that we are certain has to be out there. We keep pushing forward, doing more and more, and feeling disappointed that we can’t seem to get there.But all of that is about to change. If you are willing to let it, that is. You see, there is a secret to not letting life consume you. There is a way to do it all and have it all. The trouble is, we are just a little confused about the definition of “all.” We need to do a little re-defining and a little truth-claiming if we are going to fix this. So what do you say? Are you ready to become #NOTCONSUMED?

This was good, I did feel like some of the prompts were for more immature, young Christians, but on the other hand there were some good reminders for me as I was navigating some difficulties while reading this .
