"You can't run when you are holding suitcases," are lyrics to a Dara McClean song that focuses on the idea of letting go of the things that weigh us down. The story behind the song creates this image of the suitcases that we carry in our lives. Suitcases are meant to keep us in one place for a long period of time. If we hold on to our suitcases, we are unable to fully operate in the things that God has called us to. This is the focus of our season; to run passionately after the things that God has called us to, and to leave behind the suitcases that weigh us down, and keep us from being who God created us to be.
Our time together on Saturday allowed us to go a little bit deeper with this theme and think about the suitcases in 3 areas of our life (Basketball, School, & Life). What suitcases are each of us carrying, and how are we going to leave them behind? My hope and prayer is that we all can begin to examine our lives and think about the things that keep us from being who God created us to be. May you all be challenged to leave your suitcases behind, and run passionately towards the one who created us.
Below are some pictures from our team day!
