Live Free

We often see things the way we are. 

I think we sometimes need to pull our thoughts into check, and really think about what we're thinking about. More often than not the only thing stopping us humans from doing what we're supposed to be doing is our own mind. We're clogged up in our thoughts, confused about life, unsure about the future, and lacking a sense of hope in our hearts. We behave like little ravaging 'monsters' because it's all we know what to do in those kinds of unknowing seasons.  I'm learning, as of late, that FREEDOM is not just a nice, romantic word.. It is essential to life. 

Freedom: "the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical constraint."

Can you imagine a world where we all lived FREE? Imagine it for a moment.. We wouldn't be afraid. We wouldn't be concerned about our appearance, and wouldn't strive to please everyone. Living your life where your thoughts are free of constraint, and hindrance, would mean that we would get a lot more done in life. Live free. Live life. Live sure. Live fully alive. Live confident of the future. Live today -- in this very moment. Live with vision, with a dream, with boldness. LIVE FREE. 

We most definitely were not created to live bound. You were created to live free in the One who gave it all for you. So stop running -- accept His freedom, and LIVE.

DO WHAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT WITH A FREE MIND.

Abundance

"to be alive with, be all over the place, be knee deep in, be no end to, be plentiful, be thick with"

I wanted to find another term for 'flourish', and sure enough, I found the description above. 

When I ponder on the photo here, I think to myself three things: 1. Those palm trees are so free 2. They are free standing; independent - yet rely on the soil & roots beneath them. 3. They are BEAUTIFUL! If one single tree can be so healthy and be all it was designed to be - a palm tree - then how much more should we as human beings be all, and more, of who we were designed and created to be! We can be fully alive with our dreams, be knee deep in all we were called to be, be plentiful, and FLOURISH. I'm sure those palms have had their tough, windy, stormy experiences in their 'lifetime', but hey, they are still standing tall, strong, bold, and confidently. When storms come, 'still to stand' is the best possible choice to make! When your dreams seem faint, don't be discouraged!

Stand.
