Student Summer Growth Plan

Today, everything changes.  It's summertime!  Suddenly, most of us have quite a bit more control over our days.  We get to sleep in a little bit.  We have some time that we can spend however we want.  

Read the scripture above, especially the highlighted portions.  A couple summers ago, I read Pastor Chris's book, The Plan of Your Life.  That is when I started setting goals for my quiet time and spiritual growth.  And that is when everything changed for me.  Summer is the PERFECT time to start new habits in your spiritual life.  Below is a template to help you write a summer growth plan.  (Click the picture for a printable version.)

Additionally, if you would like to see more detail about how I structure my quiet time, see this blog post:  Interacting with God's Word.

And, if you would like to learn how to use the Blue Letter Bible to understand the shades of meaning within scripture much better, check out this post: Fruit: Praises Offered as a Thank Offering.

I challenge you… don't let the weekend go by without writing down your plan.  It's too easy to get wrapped up in summer and neglect this.  It is so important though.  It has changed my life.  A discipline that began in summer has carried on for two years now almost every morning.  You don't want to miss what God has for you if you'll just set aside a time to meet with him each day!

Prayer:

Dear Lord, you are amazing!  We want to know you so much better this summer.  Please meet with us and show us more about you.  God, I pray this would be a summer of unbelievable personal spiritual growth for our FpStudents!  In Jesus' name!  Amen!
