I’ve come to realize that freedom is so simplistically beautiful. It isn’t
something that I HAVE, but rather something that I AM. I. AM. FREE. Freedom
is walking in the bold realization that I am not my own, but rather a daughter of
the most high King. Freedom is finding belonging within the body of Christ and
surrendering to the fact that I wasn’t designed to fulfill every part that makes up
that body. Freedom is discovering that I bring something to the table that is
original and unique to the way Papa designed me, just as every one of His
children does. Freedom is learning to love my quirks and flaws, and finding
beauty in my messy hair and makeup-less face. Freedom is tear-stained cheeks
brought upon by starring at the goodness of a sunshine-filled afternoon that Papa
made. Freedom can be found in both the grand and the minuscule, the audacious
and the silent. Freedom is embracing that quiet, that stillness, that
breathtakingly, BEAUTIFUL inner peace. Freedom is chains being broken from a
disease that has plagued my mind, body, and soul since I was 11 years old.
Freedom is finding healing from the wrath of an eating disorder, and knowing that
that healing wasnt just physically, it wasn’t just mentally, and it wasn’t just
spiritually, but rather a complete and utter healing unlike anything I’ve ever
known or experienced. Freedom is feeling light and untethered, as if I could
float away because there is no longer anything weighing me down. What does
freedom look like for me today? Freedom is being able to enjoy (and I TRULY
mean enjoy) a scoop of pistachio ice cream. I love the peaceful quiet, I love this
newfound, CONSTANT freedom, and boy do I love ice cream.
