It Is What It Is

All Because I Heard One Word.

It’s another Monday morning. And as I sit at my desk I think about how heavy the weight of the world is. Last night I finally broke. My back was bent, my knees buckled and my shoulders had fallen over. I never thought a day would come when my 6’1, 250 lbs frame would be broken.
Yes, I can handle that. No problem I can take care of that. Sure me and my team will be there. Fa sho, I got you. Dig that, just let me know. Was all I remembered. As I took on more and more tasks my mind and body were slowly being over worked. Oh you need me to take care of that too? Yeah I got it. Slow down Franklin, you’re spreading yourself too thin. She said. Yo bro, I see you out here grinding, but you might want to pull up a bit. He said. Oh man, I can handle it.
But unknowingly my mind and body were becoming over worked. And finally I broke. My typical restful Sunday afternoon was anything but. My mind was a war zone and my body was running its last race. I finally broke.
Then I heard a little voice that said, you’ve gone too far. Come back to me. I looked no one was there. Come back to me I give you rest. You carry the weight of so much that you finally broke. Before I can build you up, I must first break you down. Here take my yoke. For it is light and my ways are gentle. My heart is humbled. And in me, your soul will find rest. I speak PEACE. Shhh…now rest, for your journey has just begun.
The last few tears fell, my strength return and I rested. For my burden had pasted, my load was light and joy came in the morning. All because I heard ONE word. Peace…
