Memorial day weekend May 2008

I had a wonderful weekend. I went out with Kathryn my daughter and we just sat and spoke outside, it was a great day. Sunday is always busy and I always enjoy worshipping God.

Then I had a day off and we went to Quintana beach in Freeport. I was so looking forward to hearing the waves and I was not disappointed. We came over the hill in the car and there they were. A different colour than I am used to but just wonderful all the same. It was great. I went out with the boogie board and just played. I felt so free. God has been showing me that just spending time with Him and His people in simple things is just so good.

I was reading Heidi Baker's book "Always enough" and it so touched my heart. I was in near tears. She and her Husband Roland have such an awesome testomony. Again I felt the Lord saying they have theirs but I have my plans for you. I feel an awesome peace and freedom growing inside. For the first time in many many years I feel as though I am beginning to have joy in who the Lord made me. It has been quite a journey but let the Lord be praised as I am growing into his daughtter.

Well my weekend was so refreshing, good company, a good location, a good book, a good cup of coffee and the wonderful presense of my best friend Jesus what a blessed weekend, Thank you Jesus

Thought on Freedom

I named my Blog Reach Freedom as for many years I have been reaching for freedom in my life.
I had become aware of being in a form of bondage in many areas of my life, spiritual, personality, relationships etc and I didn't like it. So I set out to change my life with God's help of course. I realized my greatest strength was knowing I was weak and knowing God was my strength.
In previous years I had become less of myself and more a form of who I thought I should be. This left me bound and so I set out to find the person that God created me to be and to live in that freedom.
I had always lived my life by faith, I loved God but often asked others what they thought, even though I have a point of view and a strong one I am also a people pleaser so would question and beat myself up with doubts about most of the things I said and did. This resulted in never being good enough, which resulted in rejection and confusion. Sounds like I had issues eh??
Anyway, these last five years has been a journey that I would not change for any price. God is wonderful and has shown me that He made me and my job is to live the best life I can for Him. In doing this I have learned many things and unlearned probably even more.
This Blog will map my journey, I journal so I plan to record thoughts here that the Lord has shown me throughout my life and I hope they will be of interest and help to you.
Have a wonderful day Chris x
