  "Make The Burden Light" Matthew 11:25-29 Well, I have started a series called  "Following Jesus" At my first attempt with  this lesson I wanted to call it  "The Yoke Is On You" I got to  talkin' to myself and said "Kim, you  better not so I thought it through and decided on the obvious answer "No!" I would add this clip I am reading  Matthew 11:25-29 and as well  it looks like this will be the sermon  on Sunday as well from  my preacher, Well he will have his in sermon form, mine is just a report. So I will keep my paper a little light but also heavy handed. Pardon my  pun.  Following Jesus and living by His ways  are the right way, no one ever said it  was going to be easy, so lace up your  shoes and let's get started.  This is one thing no one has to do alone. Jesus is already with you making your load lighter. We need to trust in Him. Jesus is  inviting us to follow his teachings. We should rely on...

"Which Is The Way?"  There's a fork in the road, there's a battle in the background. What is destined and what is now? That is life in a nutshell to me. Which road to take, which battle  to walk away from? There isn't  a right answer. There is a lesson  in both.  Roads are there for a reason  but yet so are battles.  Choosing which road is a hard  choice, each road will lead you  somewhere, each road will have  the good and bad; so just choose  one and walk it, and learn as you go.  Which battle to walk away from?  There's not one, we just put on armor, and go stand and fight what we believe  in, you'll either win or you will lose.  It's all so easy, yet so difficult, just  like daily life. You pick and choose, doesn't matter which one, there is  good and bad in everything.  remember Jesus won his battle, there is victory in the end. 

  "Light in the load"  Since I was a child I was taught  to mind my manners, if someone is hurting comfort them, If someone  is hungry feed them, and so on.  Leave people feeling they are  supported and loved.  It's kind of like a two edged sword  to me. I treat others better than  what I treat myself. I don't get the  same respect back. When I hurt, I hurt alone, I've no  one to comfort me. I always end  up in tears and turning to Jesus in  prayer for comfort and direction.  "I don't need anyone else!" This is my attitude lately, why? Because when I turn to someone  for help, they are always too busy  for me, all I have in my life is  Jesus.  I know this is the wrong attitude to  have, but I keep getting let down.  I start to think "Did Jesus ever feel  this way? Did people treat him with  disrespect?" Yes!  So why do I get so bent out of shape?  I just always thought...

  Thinking! Thinking is another way of saying; I'm lazy. I much  rather sit around and think about  all the "What if's."  All these "What if's" are keeping  me at bay. I like being outside. I love jogging or sitting outside  just listening to the sound of silence  and the birds singing. It brings me  peace and relaxation of it all.  Sitting inside when it's cold  or raining has me thinking  about "What if" I do this or that  and then never do it instead I take a nap. I don't nap that much.  I don't mind cleaning my house. I am kind of a neat freak and  organized, so what do I do  when that is done, well you  guessed it I sit and think what  if I do this and then never do it, before I know it it's time for  supper and then bed;  all to wake up in the morning  and do the same thing all  over again.  Nowadays since I have gotten  older I study, I study a lot.  I love read...

  "I will bloom like a  wildflower"  I wish I could always wake up to  good days, and there were no bad  days. I guess that would be considered  Selfish on my part.  I must learn to appreciate it every day, and be blessed. If there were no bad  days, I would have nothing to be  grateful for or thankful for. I would have no reason to praise  Jesus. I guess It's all worth the  process I must go through to grow, just like growing through Christ. I guess I should start thanking Jesus  for my good and bad days and realize everything happens for a reason, it's how  I bloom and grow like a wildflower.  I started out as a seed and will become  one again one day. Everything starts  with a seed and grows with prayer.  I am and always will be a child of God.
