Natalie of NS Pottery on Freedom.
I love the friends I have made from this handmade/blogging community. It is hard to put yourself out there, to open up and be vulnerable to people you have never met. But sometimes when you do you make real, lasting relationships. And for those, I am so grateful.
One of those friendships I have made is with Natalie. She is such a beautiful person & I am so happy to have her here today talking about true freedom:
Hi! I'm Natalie. I ordered these stacking rings from my friend Jessica and since they arrived, I've been hammered with the idea of freedom... or more like my lack of it.
Freedom is so near and dear to my heart because far too often I choose to live in bondage and it is NOT a fun place to be. Bondage to people, fear, loneliness, insecurity- the list could go on. Yet, the ironic thing is, I AM FREE. Christ died in order to set me free, yet how often do I choose not to receive it. How often do I let the devil chain me up and hammer me with lies. Something's got to change.
If you find yourself in the battle for your freedom, I hope you will find it in Jesus because it's there. His hands are outstretched, offering it to you.
"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)
