Carry my burden please.

On the last night of the camp; Schaun, our fear-less leader had us and all the campers write down sin and other garbage that had been cluttering up our lives. We were to write it down on pieces of paper then attach it to the cross in front of the stage. I was able to write down a major "thing" that God has been speaking to me about but then before we were to go and attach it, one of the girls in my cabin got sick. So I had to take her to the "nurse station". Before I did, I handed my piece of paper to one of my friends Teresa (a lady on the team) in case I needed to stay with the girl. But I was able to make it back before everyone was carrying their sins to the cross but I didn't want to (in the movement) go and "grab my sin back", so I just walked to my seat. I was then able to watch as Teresa and everyone else walked and attached their papers to the cross. It was so powerful. But what blew me away the most was that God was saying to me...."look...you are so not alone". It was so clear as anything I have ever experienced - she was literally helping me carry my burden to the cross. She was attaching it for me. Not that she can confess my sin, and not to get into the logistics of it. But He was answering such a sweet prayer of renewal and encouragement. It was refreshing and made me feel alive to know that our Holy Father loves us, loves me that much to bring people all the way across the world to carry our, carry my burden for me. Thank you Teresa. Thank you Friend. Thank you Father.

We are not alone - Satan works overtime to convince us we are! I pray for you daily Kristi. Oour sins were nailed to that cross!
