Be the Change no. 45
"Everyone chooses their level of involvement. We might share the same place BUT that does not mean we share the same space. Not everyone in the congregation is Christian."
Be the Change.
I and these blog posts are not going anywhere. They are a part of my journey and my testimony. They are a road map of my change over the past fourteen days. Going from someone afraid and struggling to someone that is filling with joy and hope. I am not anywhere near where I want to be BUT I am working on that every single day. Waking up and getting my focus on making myself better in mind, body, and spirits is a path that I walk alone with God, however, it is a walk I will continue to share because I think it needs be shared. I am not going to hide the change and the journey.
I am making some more progress through the book of Exodus and reading about the Israelites struggling with getting free. I think I struggle with getting free just like them. It is so easy to want to go back to the familiar ruts of routine that allow you to be a prisoner. The Israelites complained that they would have just stayed in Egypt as slaves rather than be free with Moses because life was a struggle in the wilderness. Life is always a struggle whether we are in bondage or in the wilderness struggling to get free. Getting free takes a lot of faith in the process, getting free takes changing your routine, getting free takes changing your life, and that is not easy for me and it wasn’t easy for the Israelites either. Their struggle, my struggle, your struggle is not unique. Getting free is a lot of work.
The great joy in getting free is knowing that it can happen. Through reading the Bible and trusting in God’s plan, I am seeing that freedom is not only a possibility BUT a requirement for my life. And I am working every day on maintaining that freedom. It’s not a one and done sort of thing. It’s a process that I have to work on daily. I get up every day and commit myself to the journey and I have to pause during the day to make sure I am still on the path and recommit myself throughout the day. The journey is a struggle BUT it is worth the change. The change is where I want to be.
So, I am not going anywhere in this space. I will be here as always posting about my journey and sharing the good news. I am here for your fellowship, your questions, your concerns, your kind words, your instruction, and all that you have to offer in return. I am going to keep giving what I can as I journey along with my change.
Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
