"For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM." ~2 Corinthians 3:17
Freedom. Wow, what a word! I can't even begin to describe what freedom means to me right now. And not just freedom in America or whatever, but freedom in CHRIST!
Over the past summer, last semester, year, whatever you want to call it...probably even starting years ago I know, God has been slowing picking out things in my life that I am holding onto. The things that my hands just won't seem to lose a grip of. The things that I just thought I always had to have around because it "couldn't get any better than this." What a LIE! I can tell you right now that I am experiencing so much freedom which is resulting in a continuous joy.
With God's help, I have been releasing my death grip on the bondage in my life!
What does bondage look like in my life? I have just been in consistent bondage listening to lies from the enemy. He never gives up on me. Satan does anything and everything to steal my joy. So much spiritual warfare going on.
Bondage in my life has also been in the form of relationships. Do not get me wrong, I am totally thankful for the friendships that have been placed in my life, and definitely this specific one that I am talking about right now, but there are times when you just know that something isn't right, and that it's not healthy. But Praise the Father, even though it was and is completely painful, I finally let go of a relationship in my life this past weekend. But I experience freedom from that knowing that I am still in the Lord's hands and that He is taking care of me... He's my Papa God!
I am so excited to see where God is taking me this semester, and throughout this next year. Lately I have really been studying what Truth is and what Joy is, and it has been such a fun journey for me. :)
But right now I just want to proclaim that I AM FREE!!!

So awesome to hear how you have been set free! It's the greatest feeling in the world, when all the pressure and stress of the world is just lifted, knowing that God is bigger than all the problems and fears that we may ever have. We have read the back of the book and we WIN!!! It's been awesome just seeing God broke those chains over the past 6 months or so!! God is so AWESOME!!!
