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
