Coming home from our recent trip to Europe, I was sick. It was something that took a while to get over. Sometimes when we go downhill physically, we can go down emotionally and spiritually as well!

And that is what happened to me!

Time to pick up my book "100 Things God Loves About You" by Tama Fortner. Number #6:

GOD LOVES WHEN YOU LET HIM CARRY YOU

"He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart."

~ Isaiah 40:11

"it's hard sometimes, isn't it? The responsibilities, the obligations of daily life. It can sometimes feel as if the weight of the whole world is resting on your shoulders. But the world isn't yours to carry; it's His. When you're too tattered and tired to try yet again, you're too wobbly and weak to keep walking, or you've stumbled down one of life's steep slopes, throw your hands up to Him and, say 'I can’t do this by myself!' Because when you reach up, He loves to reach down, lift you up, and carry your....close to His heart."
