Freedom, it means so much

Freedom, it means so much

Fourth of July and we think about a day off, the beach,  Bbqs and hanging with family and friends but it's not about all that, it's about our county's freedom.

It's really about all kind of freedoms, freedoms to be able to speak our minds, to choose who we want to vote for, who as of late, we want to marry. Free to do and say many things people in other countries cannot do or say.

For me freedom means alot, being in a verbally abusive relationship for twenty four years, it means I am able to be my self. To say what ever comes out of my mouth, even if I sound like a sailor!
It means I have my own ideas, my own friends and I no longer have walk around on eggshells.

Freedom is so very sweet to me as I know how it felt to be a prisoner, to look outside wishing and praying I was free yet not having the strength to leave that terrible situation.
I cried every day for God to end my suffering, yet every day I awoke next to my captor.

Until one day the pain was just too great and it over powered the fear I felt.
I stood up and said no more, I must be free at any cost because I cannot breathe. I was dying a slow and painful death. I want to live, more than anything, I wanted to live and laugh and feel joy in my heart!

So I stepped out on faith, I changed my life, I made myself happy. Can I say its been a easy road to joy? No, it has not but I can tell you how sweet peace and joy feels like now I am no longer looking out that window wishing I was living that life.

I am living it, I am living my life large and free! I am stepping out of my box doing things I never thought I could do and it is amazing.
I did not do this on my own, God has brought me here and then carried me when I thought I could no longer make it. He believed it for me, he knew the end result, I just followed and believed.

So today my friends remember if there is any of you who are in this situation today, declare your self free! Make today be your own fourth of July. You can do it and it is so much better than you ever dreamed!

My thanks to all the brave men and women who risk their lives to keep us free...
