TGIF - Thanking God I'm Free!

Ok, so I know it's cheesy, but it is Friday
and for most of you, you are thinking TGIF - Thank Goodness It's Friday!
 But for me this has been an interesting week, and I'm just basking in the SON.

On Monday, the doctor gave me a clean bill of health,
On Tuesday, I turned 38 years old, and received a brand new portable CD/FM player from my husband,
and two brand new CDs from my mom
Casting Crowns Until The Whole World Hears
and Wow Hits 2010.

A little over two weeks ago, I began walking as a means to regain my strength and deal with my emotions.
It has now become an anticipated daily 3-6 mile quiet time between me and God,
I love it! I feel so good! so Free!
Our neighborhood is a little circle sub-division, and every circle I make is about .5 miles, but the best part is most of our neighborhood is still empty lots, (we just built in March 2009),
most of my neighbors fall into two categories: working or elderly
so basically 9-5P M-F my neighborhood is very, very quiet,
For about an hour, (sometimes twice a day), you can find me walking to the beat of the music, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes hands raised in worship, sometimes head raised high toward the tops of the trees in awe of God's wonder and power and love.......for me!!

How good God is to us.
" For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

When I was 14 years old, I went to a Super Summer Camp at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Texas. the theme that year was Free Indeed - "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36

I feel free!
I have been through so much these past 6-7 months, maybe you have too,
that I am just enjoying the peace and the freedom that comes from giving it all to God.

I'm leaving you today with the Newsboys - song entitled " I am Free!"

This weekend, I encourage you, grab your favorite Christian Cds or Christian radio, go outside!!!!
Enjoy being free in God's great big beautiful world!
Enjoy a picnic, dig in your yard, go for walk, or just start running!!!!!!!
Bask in the light of the SON!

Until tomorrow,
