Carrying

For a while now I have carried a load that was enormous. Much larger than I should have attempted on my own, yet I drug it, pushed it and cursed it for a long, long time. Since most of my energy was used to carry MY load, I found myself having less and less time to help others with their own loads. One of my greatest joys had been to come along side another brother or sister in Christ with prayer. A little bit of my stone I would give to someone every now and again, but for the most part, it was mine and I was NOT willing to share it.

Over the course of the last two weeks, I watched something very cool happen. I unloaded that burden on about 100+ people. People I loved. People that loved me and my family. I broke small pieces off and put them in a pile for people to pick up and take. And at first, I wanted my rocks back. I had carried them so long it felt weird and even wrong to let someone else hold them.



Last night I had bad dreams.

But then this morning this crazy thing happened. People called, texted, FB posted, and emailed me and ASKED me for some of my rocks!!! Could they help in any other way? How could they pray? What could they do? And all through out my day today, the amazing happened. I could pray for others again. I had so little to carry all by myself that I remembered when others had told me about their big boulders they carried and I remembered to help. To pray. To ask if I could do something. Could I cook a meal.

Now it isn't just me trying to push my boulder to God the Father all by myself. He sent His church in to carry, little by little, all my pain and chunking those little stones to the throne of God, storming His presence over and over.

What a relief to not do this life alone.

I am so thankful for my faith family tonight.

When you are always the one behind the camera, it is days like these that you thank God for the wide angle f2.8 :)

My little L is so camera shy, I was glad to get ONE snuggle captured with her before she ran off with "cookie" her lovey.
