Recently, I've been feeling more and more free to be me, in Christ, without fear of what others will think. If I want to dress a certain way, spend my time at home, be with certain people, etc. that's ok. I don't have to have friendships just because I'm supposed to, nor do I have to look/act a certain way, because it's what I assume meets other's expectations (as a wife/mom/26 year old/college grad/woman)
It's like I'm a freshman in college all over again. Except worse, because at least then I had the desire and know-how of who I was/needed to be. Even in my walk with the Lord, I've been trying to act a certain way with Him, instead of being me.
Odd. Not healthy. Exhausting.
So, I guess I'm excited that I'm finally in a place to begin resting again. To walk in joy. To be who I am without apology or fear. And, from there, to be molded. to serve. to love. to live.
[hopeful]
Galations 5:13
For you have been called to FREEDOM! And not the freedom to satisfy the desires of your sinful nature (anger, bitterness, envy, hate), but freedom to serve one another in love.
