I’ll let this speak for itself.

I saw this in church this morning. It really spoke to my heart, and I wanted to share it with you all. You know, I debate a lot of times about what is “too personal” to share with other people on this blog. I think everyone has very different views on whether or not we should use our blogs as just a tool to connect with our readers. But in my case, I want to connect with those that I serve on a personal level. I really don’t want to be just someone that spends a few days with you; I want to have a deep, lasting friendship.
So this is what is on my heart right now. Good, bad, or indifferent, this is who I am. I vow to share it all with you. I know I might lose some along the way (and I have), but my hope is that it will draw some of us closer.
I have been dealing with some really horrible things in my life that I have been trying to cope with as of late. Feelings of doubt, insecurity, worries of things beyond my control. Yet today, when I saw this video, somehow I felt released of all of what I was hanging onto. I am simply letting it all go.
We are all so blessed. Sometimes we get caught up in all the little worries, hurts, frustrations, and whatever else may be going on in our lives. But the truth is, if we give it all over to God, and say “Lord, this is too much of a burden for me to bear”, then he renews our soul and gives us joy unspeakable. This is my prayer for every one of you today…
That you will have “joy, unspeakable.”
Blessings,
Lauren
