God's will for me: That I give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for [me] in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18
What freedom means to me: I can trust God with every aspect of this life, whether regarding my personal journey's path, or everyone else's around me. I can trust because I have learned that His love for us is great. His delight in each person is so specific and deeply profound. Sin (unbelief) entered the world and fogs our understanding of this TRUTH, but the reality of it has never, does not, and will never change.
How freedom affects my journey: As God grows in me, I am able to rest in God's grace for every, single moment. I can accept grace for myself as well as others. As I welcome it, Jesus changes my vision to His, my thoughts to His, and I get to enjoy it.
For the first time in my life, I am truly aware of the truth of that. And I still have so much more to learn! The beauty of it is that I don't have to worry about what I still have to learn. I am rejoicing in the ways that God is showering His love on me right now. After all, right now is all I have, right? I am just where I need to be...right now.
I have a bit of a lead on a part-time job. I'm praying about and trusting God with it...well, more praying about trusting God with it. : )
