It is for freedom that Christ has set us free

Uncategorized

My friend gifted me some away time for my birthday this week. Friday (yesterday) was our last day and it was the best day of New Jersey coast adventure. Talking/praying/worshipping in the morning, off to beach combing, on to clam chowder, more beach combing, ending our day riding a rollercoaster of emotion watching the true story of "Miracles from Heaven". (Highly recommend you rent the movie! Kleenex required! Great message on miracles and inexplicable suffering.)

After the movie, I attempted to finish the blog I started for this week, but felt tired. Just woke up with whispers to my heart from God… "Happy birthday". A gentle reminder that He gifted me this getaway and is ministering to my flesh, soul, and spirit. Those of us who put lots of pressure on ourselves need the grace filled reminders grounded in scripture. It IS for FREEDOM that Christ has set us free!

So enjoy the couple of pictures, find time to sing and talk to Jesus, and may you be blessed to cry tears prompted by the miraculous love of God! He is so good!

Galatians 5:1- 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.
