My Burdens Have Been Lifted

So you may have noticed that our e-mails were not very consistent in October. It was just a crazy time for us. The personal, professional, and family burdens placed on us were overwhelming. Much was required of us and it seemed to be happening all at the same time. During this hectic time hours seemed to last days. One day as I was thinking about things something I had recently read in the scriptures came to my mind. It is Mosiah 24:14

14 And I will also ease the ^aburdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as ^bwitnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their ^cafflictions.

The spirit confirmed to me that my burdens were being lifted and I realized that I was being helped with all of the daily tasks that had fallen to me. Instead of being curled up in bed from exhaustion I was accomplishing my required tasks with no sense of urgency, but a feeling of calm and peace. Those things that did fall to the way side (these e-mails for instance) did not weigh heavy on my mind. The Lord had placed the most important things in front of me and gave me the knowledge, skills, and spirit to accomplish those things.

Has this ever happened to you? Have your burdens ever been lifted in a time of great stress. Our challenge to you is to journal or scrap this experience and testify that the Lord, God does visit his people in their afflictions.
