Freedom

If there is something about my life that I really enjoy is the freedom.

Freedom is...

-Serving, loving, living for Christ. You trust all your problems to Him. You obey Him, he does the rest. Obeying may not sound like freedom, but praising the Lord feels better than running in a sundress over a field of flowers.

-Getting to travel often.

-Watching Camp Rock with your two little neighbors (one is 4, the other 10), singing and dancing every song without having a care who is watching.

-Singing silly songs from VeggieTales with one of the most special girls in the world (she's 6) and not caring who would call you a ridiculously childish.

-Spending the summer away from people you have to be away from for your own good.

-Wearing dresses.

-Dance the hoedown throwdown in front of some guys and, now matter how much they make fun of you, knowing that they still want you as a friend.

-Spending time with the youngest best friend you've ever had (she's 7, sister of the girl that sang the silly songs with me).

wait...wow, I really like being around kids. Is that bad? It's just that I feel like there's no pressure. They don't mind, they like it when your being yourself. When they start growing up into their pre-teen years they think that they are "big". It is not your likes or dislikes what determine if you're immature or not, it's how you handle your problems and resposibilities. I don't have to drink, do drugs, or have sex to have a good time. I spend my time with my friends, my parents and with little kids and I have the time of my life. Now THAT is true freedom.

  1. It is true freedom. You may feel identified with kids a lot, but don't forget the stage of life you're living. It's one of the best one.
