Community

So I'm a bit of a stubborn I-can-do-it-myselfer (and an introvert!), and have been reminded over the past couple of days about what community means. There are days when I would rather keep my burdens to myself -- why bother others with them? I have been reminded that there are actually people in my life (even though I don't see them often) who want my burdens. Paul says this: "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)
Some days I'm not sure why I try to carry the world on my shoulders. No one has asked me to.
