Starting fresh...again

Well, this is my third try on"Blogging". I do love to write down my feelings and get feedback and hopefully, I'll have some more luck here, than else where. As I said in my profiel, I'm a blessed wife to a hard working handsome man and a mom of 4, two biological children and two of which the Lord blessed us with through adoption. We lhave lived on our horse farm going on our fourth year, and we ,again, are very blessed to be able to even have this expereince. This has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm awake. I want to tell you a little about my reason for picking my "title" FreedomInChrist". For many years, as a baby Christian, I didn't know much, and as we all know, we all still know little. I was in bondage to pleasing other people instead of what the Lord wanted from me. With years of spending time with My precious Lord and saviour, I came to realize that I didn't need to be a "people pleaser" to please the Lord, scripture even states that. It states in Galatians 1:10, "Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." There you have it. Our God convicts different people of different things that he has for us for different reasons, because we are ....DIFFERENT!! I had people telling me what I should or shouldn'nt do because of their convictions, and well, maybe they were just rying to look out for me; I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But now, Praise God, I have FREEDOM IN CHRIST!! My eyes have been opened, and I know that the Lord will show me himself what He wants from me and he will restore me. It wasn't an easy road to get here, but no matter.... I AM HERE! I have many people that look at me and sometimes don't always agree with me or my family, but guess what, I finally DON'T CARE, cause the Lors has brought me out of that bondage and now I can stand up under it and stand boldly in the Lord because where I am sooo weak He is so strong!! So, with that, I would like you to join along with me in prayer for one of my friends who has been struggling with that same bondage. Just call her "your sister in Christ". God Bless!!

I am so happy you're blogging here - I hope that you continue. I love to read what you write and keep up with you.
I am so glad also that we are free together - to be who GOD made us to be and not some person's idea of who we should be!
YOU GO GIRL!
