What are the burdens you are carrying right now? My guess is that you are carrying quite a bit, and the weight of it can sometimes feel crushing. In this week’s episode, we’ll hear the invitation from Jesus to learn a way of living that is light and free.Show Notes:“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 (Message paraphrase)This week’s practice:For this week’s practice, name the burdens you are carrying. You might even want to just write them out in a list, just to see them in front of you. Seeing it all at once might feel overwhelming, but it’s important to name the reality of the weight you are holding right now. Then, read the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30.Receive the invitation from Jesus to be gracious with yourself, to allow him to restore you, and to walk with him and learn from him. Ask Jesus to help you exchange your heavy burden for his light one.More Resources:For more resources to help you connect with God in the chaos of motherhood, visit http://www.lindsaysterchi.com/free/.
