"Freedom"

It is amazing how much more time I have to do fun things now. School took up so much time!
Looking at my blog, i remember choosing to name it freedom because of the freedom Jesus brings to this world. It is cool living now- knowing more of this freedom. Jesus really did free us from strife, burden, and work.
It is funny, I noticed recently that I want more freedom or to know more Grace. Somehow that want turns into a burden for me so many times.
Today God stopped me and said that I don't even have to be burdened with wanting more of him... I haven't heard many people say that. So today I asked for more of HiM and then decided to just let him bring to pass what he wanted to bless me with-since Jesus made a way to live in God's favor and blessing now.
God answered my prayer for Grace, by telling me not t be burdened by asking for grace. Grace happens when I go to God, and then he gives us more than I ask for most of the time.

Acts 1 talks about the Holy Spirit witnessing to God's love in uS- Jesus coming and being God on earth and then coming to us in the Holy SpiRit. God has made two huge avenues for his children to know him. Jesus, who is the exact representation of the Father, and the Holy Spirit who is telling us and others that God loves us- revealing God's heart to his children.
I think that God's freedom comes when we trust God-Holy Spirit to do the work in us. Peter also talks about there being a witness to the world through the Holy Spirit.
Yesterday I read that passage and really felt such peace with spending a lot of time with God, to build up a witness for this world. Somehow it clicked that my spending time in the Holy Spirit prepares a witness in me that the world needs. I think God is also made us so uniquely, that each of us have the potential to tap into God and give a real unique and special gift that will change the world.

I was thinking of this story today...
I was in High School.. maybe a Sophomore or something. I also had the duty of setting up the church before the young adult service called jacob's well. It was during the postmodern rage and we had incense, candles, couches, etc to set up. It was my duty to get "strong people" aka boys with muscles- to help carry the couches into the sanctuary.
Today, as i did set up for my church i go to now, I flash backed to that time in high school. Kind of wondered if church set up is my calling in life:) It is something I usually enjoy. Then I remembered...the only reason I used to like setting up was because I could call cute boys:)
Maybe that is my calling! Leading anywhere with cute boys to call.
