I have also restructured my day over the summer. My small group holds me accountable to write small devotions for them each day and I have also invested in meeting with each member outside of the group. I have also developed a heart for spiritual formation in youth and adults. I aminvesting in people who can make that happen. I fear anti-intellectualism in church. I know that God has called people to love him with their mind. However, sometimes I have felt dismissed because people do not think what I am saying is important. It seems to heady or abstract or something. I am trying to simplify my life and be more strategic about where I spend my time. I have also restructured my day over the summer.
