Rest
Find rest my soul in you alone...
Life is a struggle. It simple is and there are no ways to avoid the up and down rollercoaster of struggles and emotions that we face day in and day out.
I count myself as lucky to have great people to support me and hold me up and I guess I am one of the type of guys that people are able to rest in.
What I mean by that is that we constantly wear masks day in and day out pretending like everything is okay, but there are only a few people that we have in our lives where we can be ourselves and show weakness to. To show that everything going on right now although how pretty it is is not okay. That life fucken sucks and we want so much more. That the situations that this girl or guy has put us in is not fucking okay. That although our job looks chill some days you want to just kick your bosses face in and say fuck you, you cant fucking treat me like that.
As you know, I try to be as politically correct as possible, but the emphasis of the word fawk will hopefully illuminate how sometimes things are not going right and how much we bottle it in at times.
I am glad for Jesus. Honestly, as stupid as that sounds. I am so glad for Jesus. He takes my burdens and weaknesses and allows me to be me. I know it sounds pathetic, but honestly I think that is the truth of the gospel. I am pathetic and need a God who accepts me for me. I am childish, stupid, and selfish and yet He takes these ugly things and accepts me.
And my friends come to me and they bring their burdens and their struggle and let them know they dont have to apologize. I accept for who they are because I have learned what its like to weak and yet accepted. Maybe that is my magic and charm. I have learned to be real I guess.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ... For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Amen again and again! :)
I love this post.
Good post. I share in the feeling. God gives you strength to face your battles every day.
Amen.
I like this post too.
Sometimes I wonder why we can't truly be ourselves everyday, to everyone. Because people think that's too naive?
I find that the more authentic I am, the stronger I am. sure there is a sense of vulnerability but until you can face life, people, without a mask.... i wonder if we really know who we are, what we are made of.
I'm on a journey to authenticity, vulnerability... strength in being who I am without fear of failure or being misunderstood.
I like that you said "I have learned to be real I guess"
authenticity draws people to you.
