From me to you June 19, 2008

Stuff from Steph , trackback

Of all the things I haven’t done and all that’s still left to do the most important thing I’ve missed today is my time alone with you. You’ve always been there for me, you’ve never left my side yet I’ve ignored you so many times today, I know I’ve made you cry.  There is so much to do and my list keeps growing, the load grows heavier and my steps are slowing. Please help me stop, help me put down that burden I’ve insisted on dragging around. The cross you’ve given me isn’t too much and your burden isn’t too heavy, it’s all the other stuff I’ve loaded on which makes my mind so weary. Peace be still is something I am not but need to be. I’ve forgotten that it’s your work in first place and I’ve let it overwhelm me. I’ve allowed the work to crowd you out and now I feel the load. It’s heavy, it hurts, it’s pushing me down and I won’t last much longer. Please take it from me and give me your love which will help me be much stronger. He’s told me this so many times yet still I do it again, I’m learning everyday that I can’t go on without him.  When I begin to feel worn down, empty and depleted I know it’s because from You I’ve retreated. Don’t let me go on gasping for each breathe, force me to stop, force me to rest. I know this lesson I must learn and I know it’s for the best. Each time that I fall at your feet you help me rise again, so keep me weak, keep me desperate so that I can learn to only on you depend.

P.S. You have my permission to do whatever it takes..

Hey Steph…totally praying for you (thanks a zillion for the note & lil’ gifts sent back with Anita) and just so you know, you’re not the only one….what you wrote is pretty much my constant lesson over the last year. You don’t know how many times I’ve read the “Resting in the Lord” letters…only to find them just as applicable/convicting/ultra needed as ever, every single time. Wonder why it’s such a hard lesson to get down, when His solution is so simple…any rate, just wanted to say I love you, I understand, and I’ll be praying for you (if you’ll pray for me too!) Love, Lils xx
