"I am passionate. I have lots of opinions. I can get so heated about an issue I can’t sleep. I am filled with so much compassion that I often neglect myself. But sometimes I take life too seriously- to the point of driving myself to madness. What kind of life is that? A crap one, I think. There is so much injustice and hatred and death and tears in the world. But me putting all of my energy into constantly ruminating over these things only leads me to mania and depression. That is solely my experience. Therefore I am currently attempting to allow God to relieve me of the burdens I needlessly put on myself- because I DO NOT save anyone. I do not solve anything. God does. It’s his job. He bore it on the cross and he bears it today. As sad as it is, this is all playing out the way it is supposed to play. I might be angry about it, I might be happy about it, I may have sleepless nights. I only contribute what I can. I’m a pawn on a board, hopefully moving as God intends me to. So at the end of the day I want to let myself lean back and say, “I’ve done what I can. God, I trust you to do the rest. Amen."
