Those of you who have known me long enough know that I have tried blogs in the past, but I never seem to be able to keep up with them. Well, here I go again. I love to share with people what is going on in my life and most importantly, what God is revealing to me. In the past I've had funny blogs and serious blogs and totally random blogs. I have no idea what this one will be....probably a bit of everything.
I titled this blog "freedom" (notice the quotes all you fellow BI classmates!) because that seems to be what God has been teaching me this semester...how to be free. He has also be showing me how to find the beauty in each and every moment. It's there...sometimes you just have to open your eyes. Instead of wondering what my life is going to be like in 2 years, I am choosing to enjoy exactly where my life is now. I am learning to meet people where they are and not where I think they should be or would like them to be. Afterall, who am I to judge that anyway? I have learned to accept people as they are, and most importantly, to accept myself as I am. That is where the freedom is. I can't say that I have figured this out all by myself...not even close.
God has surrounded me with people that have taught me these things. I can tell when people feel free. There is nothing more refreshing. Seeing others comfortable in their own skin helped me to be comfortable in mine. Letting people see the real me has never come very easy for me. I thought that the real me was somehow never enough. My eyes have been opened to that lie. I have never felt more alive than I have these past couple of months. There are alot of variables that have gone into that, but I know the biggest one has been this whole freedom thing.
Getting to this point has had its ups and downs...and I know there are more ups and downs to come, but I am ready. I've never felt so ready. God is working and that is exciting. I think this picture is a great representation of my past 3 months.
