SOMETIMES IN LIFE, WE CAN JUST GET BURNT OUT. THAT IS WHERE I WAS YESTERDAY. JUST FLAT SPENT. TIRED. EXHAUSTED. WEARY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY DRAINED. MY SWEET SISTER HAD TO LOVINGLY REMIND ME OF HIS YOKE.

“COME TO ME, ALL WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY-LADEN, 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

LORD FORGIVE ME FOR PLACING MY OWN YOKE UPON MYSELF, AND THE YOKE OF OTHERS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS. THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU PUT ME HERE FOR. YOU DON'T NEED ME TO BE A HERO. I AM THE ONE IN NEED OF YOU, EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY. I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.

Can I help you? As one of my funny friends says, "if you need an ear - I have two!"
