Freedom:

Whom the Lord sets free is free indeed.

So why not be finally free?

I often see a  big gaping hole in the lives of my non-christian friends. One, I automatically assume is there because of their lack of knowing Christ. Their big brother who vouches for them and for their Papa in Heaven who yearns for them. I notice their favorite things to do, or how they spend their time, always thinking they are trying to fill a void. And they are. But, I'm beginning to realize that I have the same gaping hole. I am still trying to fill that immense void.

A few weeks ago, I proclaimed OUT LOUD that I would trust in God. And He provided security, safety and comfort as a I made those small steps of trust. But, now what? I can't just go on a feeling, I need to be practical. And practically trusting God means to stop needing to fill a void and just letting HIM fill it. Fill it completely. Not nearly, so I still have space for the things I "love". But, wholly, completely, utterly fill up that hole in me, so all of the things I love point straight back to those wonderful men in my life. So that all of my delights pours out of me as a result of being filled to the brim.

 To be free. Oh, to be free.

God is getting me there. Slowly.
