Enjoying Freedom - #1169 - #1187

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.  Galatians 5:1

1169.  the sweetness of "Jesus Loves Me"
1170.  snuggling with the wee one and praying for him to have sweet dreams
1171.  chains falling as I remember that He is my Provider
1172.  chains falling as I remember that He is the Lover of My Soul
1173.  chains falling as I remember that He is my Comforter and the purpose behind that comfort
1174.  discipleship
1175.  the older boy love learning and starting at a new position - center
1176.  listening to wee one love cheering on his big brother so passionately
1177.  that waiting upon the Lord really means serving Him while He is being the Sovereign God He is!
1178.  "God doesn't ask me to be perfect.  He asks me to praise."  (Thanks, Ann!)
1179.  breezes blowing through the trees and cooling off the bright warm sun
1180.  On the way to church, older boy love says, "God created a beautiful earth."  We proceed to talk about how creative God is in how he made so many different trees, flowers, people, animals, etc.  Then my sister says the same thing to me before worship.  Can you say sacred echo?!
1181.  Confirmations on callings
1182.  friends who willingly extend grace
1183.  learning from the past
1184.  remembering that life isn't about my happiness, but my holiness
1185.  a meaningful "I love you" said by my sweet husband love
1186.  stretching and being stretched
1187.  the comfort of Psalm 34

Freedom! i can hear the chains falling - here, there, and praise Him, everywhere! oh to abide in Him, to keep Him the centre of each breath - - breathing His name, breathing His praise, breathing His peace... just to breathe Him in, and exhale all of the 'stuff'

can i get an amen?!

so enjoying your counting. smiling at the visions dancing in my mind as i 'see' each one. and then i hit 1184:
remembering that life isn't about my happiness, but my holiness

i CAN say sacred Echo! you tell it girl! holiness. and i hear the song now...
HOLINESS, HOLINESS…..IS WHAT I LONG FOR
HOLINESS IS WHAT I NEED
HOLINESS, HOLINESS
IS WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME

CHORUS:
TAKE MY LIFE……AND FORM IT
TAKE MY MIND……TRANSFORM IT
TAKE MY WILL……CONFORM IT
TO YOURS, TO YOURS, OH LORD

RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS……IS WHAT I LONG FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WHAT I NEED
RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME

CHORUS

PURITY, PURITY…..IS WHAT I LONG FOR
PURITY IS WHAT I NEED
PURITY, PURITY
IS WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME

except i sing the words "is what You want for me" :)

Love you, Girl!
