I had no idea until this week of boot camp training how many burdens I have been carrying around in my life. I realized this week how broken I 
really am and that my brokenness is not the problem, it is my clinging to the past. My life has not been easy, like many of you reading this blog. I have experienced the hurt and feelings of rejection caused by divorce, loss of friends and life’s many letdowns. Instead of throwing my burdens at the cross, I decided to carry them with me for so many years somehow thinking by my own strength and abilities, I would be the healer of my past hurts. I thought to be whole meant to be fixed but what I learned this week is quite the opposite. It is to be BROKEN that frees me from my bondage of control and finally releases the power of God’s spirit in my life. I have experienced a fresh awakening this week of the power of grace, forgiveness and love. May I be the one to let got and let God!
