This past Monday was CYOT (Chose Your Own Topic) at CL and you guys voted for Hurt. In small groups we talked about emotional versus physical pain. In my small group we came to the conclusion that emotional pain is harder to deal with but that physical usually leads to emotional pain. Would you agree?

Mike wrapped things up talking about the 'weight' of things in our lives. School, break-ups, family, friends, drama... you name it they all weigh us down. He had Nick hold up a bunch of bricks by himself adding one at a time. Nick was in serious pain and didn't think he could keep going but then Jake came to help him. Jake helped him to carry his 'burden,' the weight was just to much for one person to hold.

It was a cool visual and so fitting to our lives, it's amazing how we think we can handle so much... but how much can one person really handle on there own. We take on one thing after another and just think 'If I can only make it through today, I will be fine.' Just think though how much easier life is when you don't take EVERYTHING on alone. If you have a 'load' that is to heavy to handle by yourself ask a Campus Life Leader for help. We would love to listen and talk you though whatever is going on.
