Be Careful Which Cross You Pick Up

’cause it might not be the cross He designed for you…

The past few days’ meditations/readings have been striking me as very similar to this message. I’m Ms. Make-It-More-Complicated-Than-It-Has-To-Be. If I would just pick up the cross *He* has picked for me, instead of trying out every other cross I see that “just might be better” (more intricately carved? glows in the dark? makes a statement?)…. I just might be able to carry it with grace.
