Traveling Light--He Took It All For Me!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to re-iterate that in spite of the last post, I am really "traveling light" now! (and I am not talking about my travels to Mexico later this week.) I am talking about the freedom from the burden of guilt and shame that I used to carry.

There is a great song that is contemporary, that I am really enjoying listening to. It totally expresses the idea.

"Traveling Light" By Sara Groves and Joel Hansen

Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders
Was a weight I carried with me everyday
Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging
Picking up stones I found along the way
I staggered and I stumbled down
Pathways of trouble
I was hauling those souvenirs of misery
And with each step taken my back was breaking
'Til I found the One who took it all from me

Down by the riverside
(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down,
Now I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
I found my freedom now
And I'm traveling light

Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
Now He's leading me to places
Where there are no tears

Down by the riverside
(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down,
Now I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
I found my freedom now
And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside
I laid my burdens down,
Now I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
I found my freedom now
And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside
(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down,
Now I'm traveling light
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
I found my freedom now
And I'm traveling light

IT IS AMAZING WHAT GOD DOES WITH A LIFE AVAILABLE TO HIM----May we all continue to be that way!!! He took it ALL for me!!!!!! Praise His WONDERFUL NAME!!!!
