Burden me, here I am
God definitely has His hand in picking the song of the day! This afternoon, I was given the option of helping with registration for NCYC 2011 in November. It is a paying position and would increase my bank account by quite a lot. It would be a great opportunity and would allow for some great networking and give me even more organization skills than I already have. It’s definitely a lot of work, I’d probably want to pull my hair out from throughout October and November. I wouldn’t be able to lead my parish group, and who knows how much I’d actually be able to see my kids at the conference - probably not much. I have to give my answer by tomorrow so obviously, I’ve been thinking about it all day.
I talked to the secretary at Church, I called and talked to my mom. With the exception of one short phone call to someone else, my brain has been entirely focused on weighing the good and the bad of this, trying to determine if I want to do it or not. I was leaning towards taking it, but still unsure when I got on my computer to get the song for today. God’s answer to my question of “Should I?” is so obvious and is articulated so well! Burden - a load, particularly a heavy one - definitely one way to explain this opportunity. But the song keeps repeating, burden me, here I am, here I am. The singer is not only accepting the burdens God’s sending their way, but ASKING for them!
I think it’s possible I’m a little crazy for doing this, but after all the conversations, all the thinking, and now all the praying, I think I’m going to do it. Dear God, help me!
