Change of Lifestyle

Many times we get focused on everything thats going on whether its about us or others.  I have found myself wrapped up in ALOT of my own selfishness lately.  Things are well but I get so consumed with my struggles how I can fix them and forget about the people and things around me.  This is not an attitude I want to uphold, God has called each of us to serve one another help one another!  So the big picture of this I am learning alot about where my focus should be.  First it should be God, then others in my life, then deal/work on myself.  Prioritizing is quiet hard at times but Gods good!  I’m ready for change, I’m ready to grow, I’m ready to pour my whole heart into others, I’M JUST READY!!!!!!!!! 

As of life here in Florida, its getting better and better each week!  I miss home still like CRAZY but I’m doing so well here!  God has truly blessed me like no other!  Life is busy here but thats what 247 lifestyle is all about!  I’m def ready for a break but its been amazing here. 

Peace!  Drama practice day for first years

What does Freedom truly mean to YOU?

The word “Freedom” in Webster’s definition is-The quality or state of being free.
the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.
liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another .

Today I woke up and freedom was on my mind, its not only my blog that says Freedom Lives In This Place but also is the underlining theme of our teams name in 247 this year.  With that said I have never really sat down and looked at What does Freedom truly mean to me????  Am I free from all sins, bondages, strongholds?? Am I living or setting an example of livestyle of Freedom?  Where do I sit in the midst of this!  Just a thought of where I a right now, and where I’m striving to be is a LIFE FULL OF FREEDOM from all things!  I don’t always have it together wait i NEVER DO, but I can and we all can strive to live a life of Freedom! 

Know that in the midst of finding Freedom the enemy is going to come in and try his hardest to keep you from standing firm.  As it says he comes to steal, kill, and destroy…So stand strong in Gods word thru all things! 

My two cents of the day!!!

Don’t know what to name this……….

Back from Texas!  Long Long Long Long drive home!  I slept maybe 3 hours of the 16!  I was more than excited to get back to Bradenton!  Almost wish it was Arkansas but I know with full confidence I am where I need to be!  Texas was a blast, we did soo much in so little time.=)  The church we stayed at was great!  The people were amazing!  When you gave people a hot meal they were more than happy, some would cry, some would ask how they could bless you and they are the ones in need!! 

I feel really scattered tonight with my thoughts.  So if things don’t make sense just bare with me!!

A quote I heard this past weekend describes exactly where I am right now! Go to the hardest place in life and the biggest struggles and DANCE FOR GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!!! So hard to do, but I’m going Dance and find joy regardless of the situation!
