As I sat and recovered, it made me think about my day to day life and how it is a rollercoaster with so many ups and downs.. at the end of the evening, we went and and heard the Newsboys play. the songs Something Beautiful and I am Free played.. two of my favorites.. I am so thankful with finding Jesus that I am free.. as a matter of fact, I got a tshirt that says on the front I am Free and on the back it says The price has been paid. We no longer have to be on that wild rollercoaster of life.. if we invite Jesus into our lives, it is such more peaceful. Sure there will be bumps along the way.. but not those darn out of control days!

So later in the day, I searched for an area to have a cigarette as it was a smoke free park with designated areas. I found it.. As I sat on that bench which was in a small area roped in.. yes ropes around the benches.
I thought of being roped in sin.. What sins in our life are we allowing to rope us in.. There is one that can cut those ropes.. and that is Jesus. Ok.. so I sure can say it, but now it is living it. I am getting there. I am being freed. I just have to keep continuing to give it all to him.

Anyone care to share what sin they feel that the ropes still have them roped in by? We sin every day.. and we are forgiven.. but is there a sin that is driving you crazy.. the chains are so tight around you, that you do not think you will ever be free? There is hope.. hang in there.. hang on tight and turn to the one who will set you free.

I have 5 hour round trip to take my daughter back today.. been an awesome 4 days.

Have a great day!
