Baggage Claim

"My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." -2nd Corinthians 12:9

What has emotional baggage done for me ???

Absolutely nothing but prevent me from having a fulfilling life. Feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders is heavy and doesn't feel good at all. Trust me, I have first hand experience. Here you are carrying hurt, anger, and everything else that collected over the years. Personally, I thought sweeping all of my issues under the rug and pretending that it never happened would cause the pain to magically disappear. Well unfortunately, that's not how it works. It doesn't just go away. We start to carry it into our work, home, and social lives. It's not healthy and it keeps us from having the joyous and abundant life, we are meant to have.

Lets be real. It's not always easy addressing the baggage. In fact, it's very uncomfortable. It reminds me of unpacking a suitcase after a long trip. I don't know about you but I always dread to wash the clothes and put my shoes and other products back in its place. I would continue to push it off until I am tired of seeing it. Don't let this be the case in regards of your healing. Identify the issues, Unpack them (rather its through prayer, therapy, etc.) and then let go. Release the pain, anger, and insecurities so that God can step in and do what he does best. Allow him to claim the baggage you are holding on to and start living a life full of peace, love, and prosperity.

P.S It doesn't happen over night, so don't be so hard on yourself. Remember you're not in this alone. It's a journey for us all sis!
