Freedom Anthem

I see the walls around me have fallen
I am free
I'll sing in your freedom
I'll dance in your freedom
I'll walk in your freedom
I'll breath in your freedom
I wanna' be who I was meant to be
So tell me again who I am, remind me who I am
I'm not a failure
I'm victorious
I'm not a disappointment
I'm a warrior
I'll scream in your freedom
Shout in your freedom
Run in your freedom
LIVE in your freedom
FREEDOM!


This song is amazing and was sung by the RMC band at my church. I went to the impact night where they sang this live, and it totally put me in a different place then where I was before. While singing the song, I had a smile just come across my face and tears start to build up because of how these simple words meant so much. No matter what I've done in the past, no matter how many walls I have put up from situations and people, God is able to break them down so I can live a life for him freely. The feeling of God was just overwhelming that night and I now understand how people can be overtaken by the feeling of joy and peace.

A Life Remembered

This was the title of my quiet time for today. It especially made a impact on my life because me and many other members of the community lost a friend to cancer this past week. Although his memorial service focused on the good times of his life, his family and friends will still feel the heartache and sadness of his passing. This particular quiet time focused on Psalms 139. Verse 16 is what really stood out to me.

Psalms 139:16: You saw me before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Basically God knows what our days consist of and how many of them we have here on earth. When our time does come to meet God in heaven, it's important to remember that God is in control of the situation and He wants us to comfort those who are grieving.

Not only can this apply to those who do go meet the Lord in heaven, but to those who turn from God, or put him on hold.

Psalms 139:9-10: If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

I personally went through a time when God wasn't the main focus of my life. I, unfortunately, joined the bandwagon of not going to church, partying and other such situations. I learned very quickly how important it is to make God the main focus in life and no matter what has been done or how far I turned, God was always there to bring me back.

One of my many summer goals is to become closer and grow in my relationship with God. I have joined life groups, which are awesome support groups to help me stay on track and it's nice to be in groups where there are those my age facing the same sort of problems and situations. I am very GRATEFUL to have found all these individuals in my life groups! I am also thankful to be given another chance to restart with a clean slate and make things right with God.
