What’s actually bothering you?

I was so defeated.
I felt like I got nothing done today.
My counters were a mess.

I yelled at my kids.
I glared at my husband.

The sheets were a week behind schedule.

I felt like I failed.
The little I got right didn’t outdo the feelings of everything going wrong.

Groceries were expensive.
I didn’t have a fancy title behind my name or a degree.
I was just a normal, everyday girl.

… and I burnt the pan of brownies again!

But then the LORD said something that changed the rest of my day…

“Rachel, what you are upset about… it isn’t actually what is bothering you. Give it to me! You’re carrying things you were never meant to take on your shoulders.”

So today my sweet friends… handover the things that are upsetting you to Jesus. It all matters to Him. Big or small, He wants it ALL.

Matthew 11:30 (New International Version)
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

(And if you need a sweet treat… make Laurie’s chocolate chip cookie 🍪 recipe from Passionate Penny Pincher. It always brings a smile to my less than perfect days!)
