On the path to Freedom

My whole life since i can remember, has been in a relationship with Jesus.

 

From the smallest of smalls i was in Sunday school, singing and dancing and watching Veggie Tales. at a very young age, i accepted Christ. I've lived my whole life in church, doing things with other believers and in fellowship with people who adore Jesus.

 

But the whole time i always felt like i was missing something.

God is so good to us, but i think some of us just miss out.

 

We're fans, and not followers.

We sit in the stands and know about Jesus, but we don't KNOW him.

 

I'm not sure about y'all but thats not good enough for me.

Over the summer some tragic events took place that really just landed me on my face in prayer. I fell before the Lord and just gave it all to him.

I started christian school and i really just began to seek him out and follow him. No one promised the road to be easy, it never has been but its so worth it.

He put his LIFE on the line so i could be forgiven. He deserves every part of my life, every minute of my time, every thought in my mind, every action I perform. He deserves MY life in exchange.

 

He just desires so heavily to love us and be our Father, he wants us to look to him and trust him.

And i do. But its so so so awesome to just see him work in me, prove to me things i would never have seen, watch people come to know him, lives to be changed and for me to be on the field in the game and not on the sidelines out of the hard work for his glory..

 

I've had this blog for quite some time and i really just felt the Lord calling me to revamp. To write about me and my life, and what he's calling me to, and HIM. not about what i did after school or what tooth my brother lost. So here i am, im starting over.

 

This is my journey to finding freedom.

 

The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17
