I feel burdened by my choices and the people who have been hurt as a result of my choices. I carry a burden over the loss of my mother. I am burdened by the fact that I turned my back on Him, during a time in my life when I could have used Him the most. I am burdened by the problems of my students....they carry a heavy load and sometimes we forget where they are coming from.
I think that I often neglect to include Christ when I am burdened. Rather, I am ashamed of my mistakes and feel too humiliated to turn to Him or go to church. The problem is this is the very time when I should be calling on God. I forget about His unconditional love. I forget about the forgiveness that He offers to everyone. I forget that confronting and facing our problems is what makes things better--it is the avoidance that creates problems.
My burdens create who I am, and they are issues that can be worked on, but may never be fully erased. There is no point in dwelling on the past, I must live for today and continue to work on me.
