I am ruined with a simplistic lifestyle, I am absolutely ruined! I can never go back to the way it was, business as stubborn as a determined woodpecker pecking away at your skull into your brain.
After today I realized, I have been living my life with a constant heaviness, after awhile you forget you're carrying extra weight. Then a hard day will ome along and you mulfunction, but you live and continue to do so, added weight building all the while.
I felt the burden lift today, "how?" you ask.
I sat on a hard wooden floor next to a wood burning furnace, and cracked walnuts for hours.
As I was sitting there peeling back the sharp shell to reveal the sweet golden meat, I felt the weight evaporate with the heat of the furnace. I realized somthing, for once I wasn't rushing, for once I could take my time. I enjoyed cracking the nuts and hearing their stories, and what beautiful stories they were.
In this day I have tasted patience, and contentment, and simplicity, and nuka's (nuts) I declare I will never live under the weight of business again, I have been set free. The Lord has cracked my hardened shell, and He is refining me into pure gold!!
I am ruined
Oh but I am blessed
