Freedom....

I had a great day worshipping this morning. I was reminded once again of the freedom that I enjoy because of those who have fought for it. I'm grateful for them. I was also reminded of the freedom that I enjoy in Christ. It's what Jesus came for....to set the captive free. I'm so grateful that Jesus has given me freedom. I'm also grateful that He will never take away that freedom, no matter I do or don't do. My Scripture for this week is found in Isaiah 49:15,16....Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for a child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on my hand...

I'm so grateful to be free. I'm so grateful to loved by God.

Freedom

Since today was July 4th, I was thinking about freedom this morning. I'm so grateful to be in a country where we have the freedoms that we have here in America. But when I think about freedom, it automatically makes me think of my freedom....freedom from bondage, abuse, addiction. I'm so grateful that today when I woke up, I didn't have to take a drink or a pill to make it through the day. I'm so grateful that tonight, I didn't have to go to bed with an angry, abusive husband. I'm so grateful that I was able to spend the day with my 7 year old playing Wii, reading books, watching cartoons together. I'm grateful that I was able to spend the day with my parents and celebrate my mother's birthday(at RedLobster!!!). I'm grateful that I'm sober and can enjoy these simple things in life.

I was reading in the Psalms tonight. Verse 73 says, You made me; You created me. Now give me the sense to follow Your commands. (NLT)

Today I'm a blessed woman because I'm walking in freedom and victory. The reason I'm experiencing God's blessing today is because I'm walking in obedience. I pray that I will continue to have the sense to follow God's commands.
