A Lighter Load

For the past five months I have been:

• Tired
• Worn Out
• In a Fog
• Burned Out
• Weighed Down
• Pedaling a bike up a hill in the wrong gear
• A Yo-Yo

So now...

• I am going to walk with God
• rely on God's strength and power
• choose not to be controlled by my circumstances
• worship the Lord and rejoice in Him
• I will eat and care for my health because I am precious and my family is precious

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for you souls. Matthew 11:28-29

It is time do some spring cleaning of my soul and my body. I need refreshment for my spirit, soul, mind, and body. I say I feel like a Yo-yo, because many times I attempt to lose weight, read my Bible, pray, sew, craft, clean, etc. etc. But, I start something...stop...start again...stop...re-direct...forget it. I know that I can only do anything within the Lord's strength. It is not by my own determination and will power that I can accomplish any task. So, I am just beginning to take little steps and lean towards the Lord through this journey.
