This is Day 19 from the Journal Challenge:

Wait, how are we on day 19 already?! I cannot believe the challenge is almost officially over.

This challenge was geared to renew your mind and SET your mind for the rest of the year. I pray that you CONTINUE to make time for the Lord every single day. I don’t know about you, but I have been challenged throughout this challenge in a way I cannot explain. It’s been an honor to rock with ya’ll for the past 19 days.

The word from the Lord today is: “My yoke is easy and My burden is LIGHT”

This comes from Matthew 11:28-30

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Following Jesus doesn’t make every problem in your life go away. At times, it seems like you have even more problems. lol But don’t worry, that’s just an illusion because heaven is our home and not earth. Jesus doesn’t say that will no longer have burdens if you YOKE yourself with Him. He said their weight would decrease. If you see Jesus’s life, you can see that He too went through hard times, was beaten and put on a cross for our sins.

Let me give you an example of taking the yoke of the Lord.

Imagine if I am walking through the airport with three super heavy (100 pound) suitcases with no wheels. One would probably look at me and think “Wow, the baby is struggling.”
