So I have really been struggling these last few days. The whole reason I started this blog was to help me focus on the good in my life, even in the midst of not always good times. But, because of that, there have been days where I've felt like I am being fake and not reflecting the genuine me, which is something I have also really been striving for lately, genuineness. In a lot of ways not only do I want this blog to be a reflection of good, I want it to be a true reflection of me, which is definitely not always good. How do I keep a balance?
For tonight's post I am going to strive to do that, in the best way I know how, but am still continuing to learn and grow in. In the midst of all the questions, and struggling, and growing, and changing, and seeking, I rejoice in the truth of these verses, that I was reminded of in class tonight...
28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
God knows everything I'm going through right now. Not only does he know it, he wants to bear the burden of it. I am going to strive to take his yoke and let him take care of all the other crap in my life. Yes, I said crap :)
In an effort to "rejoice always" I will be posting thoughts each day about the best part of my day.
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:4-9
