The Right Burden

The Right Burden

Matthew 11:28–30 (28)Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  (29)Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  (30)For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”(ESV)

The long weekend ends, and the normal weight of life starts pressing back in. Deadlines return. Responsibilities return. The noise returns. Jesus never promised a life with nothing to carry, but He did offer a better yoke. Not every burden placed on your back came from Him. Some came from fear. Some came from pride. Some came from the need to prove yourself. So before stepping back into the week, it’s worth asking a simple question: Am I carrying the work Christ gave me, or am I dragging chains He already broke?

Hello,

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
