Weight of the World

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28

Salvation is here and he's living in me....Greater is he that's living in me than he that is in the world.
-Salvation is here Hillsong

Once again.. I'm so restless. This is the latest I've been up all summer long. I feel all twisted inside. I feel like crying for some reason and I don't know why..

Yesterday I got into a bit of trouble. There was a lack of communication between my parents and I. I started to cry in the back seat of my friends car. Her dad realized I was crying and gave me really good advice. 
 It went down like this. Rhia what did you learn in camp? That Jesus loves you no matter what.? Well yes but no what about the burdens? Oh that Jesus will carry the burdens for you. Yes you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders give them to Jesus. When you are feeling down read the parables, read proverbs and listen to music. Music has some deep meaning to it.

He then proceeded to make me and Arielle laugh. He reminded me that I should always have every detail of where I was going written on paper. He said not to tell my parents to chill just to say calm down I'm alive. It was during this time in the car where I found a new admiration for parents. My eyes were opened to exactly how much they care and worry for us. They were opened up to how hard they work their butts off to provide for us. I mean sure I knew this before but I had a better grasp of it when I was sitting in the car. I actually wanted to go home and apologize for the lack of communication.

When things are looking gloomy. Don't panic. Put a smile on your face and laugh until your sides ache. Calm down. Speak gently and always always give your burdens to Jesus. You'll never have to face anything alone. You will always have Jesus right at your side. Take the weight off your shoulders.

Romans 12:12  Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
