If I had to pick a theme verse for 2007 Galatians Ch5v1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Christ has set me free in so many areas, yet here I sit enslaved by the mighty dollar. Something I've learned this year is truly sin is sin. Doesn't matter what it is. I used to think that heavy weight of grief and guilt and defeat and hopelessness was just physical symptoms from the drugs I had been enslaved to the night before. Nope-it was sin. As I started to notice this feeling settle in over the past year at first I was almost fearful, confused. Like I've totally been here before, trying to remind myself that I am no longer using drugs that this is just the enemy trying to get me down, make me think something that I am not. There were warnings-oh- say like Galatians 5:1 running through my mind. God knows me through and through considering He made me and so isn't quite suttle with me and yet here I am. House in foreclosure, cars repossessed (ok, i so wanted to say "returned" but we all know its not like taking a pair of jeans back) no savings and hoping we can make rent this month. What stings all the more is that I should have known better! There is no one to blame here. Not that I would blame say my addiction or long list of other sins on someone else but there were alot of things that contributed to my lifestyle. This was truly mine to own. Looking back I see where I tried to ignore, justify... Yep, so thats where I am at currently. But God is faithful and relentless with me and despite my own rebellion He is working in and through in spite of me. I so have to go!
