Freedom

What is your freedom worth to you?

I have noticed in my travels to other countries that those of us that live in America, where we are "free", are really the ones most tied in bondage.  We are tied to the bondage of having the best.  The best car.  The best house.  The best clothes.  The best of all things material.  In the other countries I have experienced-the countries with less money- they also want the best, but their best is different.  They want the best marriage, the best children, the best relationships.  To them it is not a competition.  It is simply living the best life that they can.

As you all know, I love traveling to Haiti.  While it is so different from my life here in the states, it is a release.  While I am there, I do not have to worry about many of the things that fill my mind here at home.  I am free to listen to the desires of my heart that are often drowned out.  They are drowned out by the obligations that I feel to other people.

I desire to live a life here in the states that I live in Haiti.  A life where God's plan is ALWAYS at the forefront of my mind.  A life where I answer His call without doubt or hesitation.  A life fulfilled-free of living up to what others want from me.
