Welcome :-)

Come to me, all 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 your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30


“My yoke is easy and my burden is light;” does that sound lighter than the load your carrying? For those who didn’t know what “yoke” means; don’t feel bad because neither did I. Harness, collar, and coupling are different ways to say “yoke.” It’s a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plow or cart that they are to pull. It’s a device used to hook loads up to animals for them to drag around behind them. Can you imagine the load Jesus was carrying as he carried that cross up that hill? He carried literally, the weight of the entire world; do you really think he can’t handle yours? His burden was heavier than we could even imagine, but he’s telling us to give him our heavy load too. Because it’s not a burden to him, he was the only one strong enough to carry our sins; he’s the only one strong enough to carry our baggage.


This blog is being created for exactly that reason; to share the load. We are all carrying around so much; it's too much to bear. Share it. I recently started sharing my story and all the baggage that I carry and have found other people that have been carrying similar loads; convinced of being the only one. I want to create a way to devote our experiences, pasts, life lessons, and all the brokenness to the glory of God. You may be going through a storm that is crashing around you so hard that you think you can't go on, but you can. Sharing stories; we encourage one another in those calms, but more so during the storms. This is a place to support one another, but most importantly draw nearer to the Lord.
