A Freedom Message I Learned From My Daughter’s Barbie Doll

Happy 4th of July to all of my EMsisters! What a wonderful day to celebrate freedom, not only in our nation, but for many, today is a great day to step into
freedom from chains that bind our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits.

I was so thrilled to receive a precious letter from a young lady who’s life has been dramatically changed since joining EMwomen. For years, she had spent her life trapped in bondage to depression and abusive relationships, slowly losing her joy, peace, and identity. This week, however, she sent me a note describing her new sense of freedom, liberty and happiness as she has begun to realize God’s bigger plan for her life. I thought of my EMsisters and the beauty of this being our national celebration of independence. I pray, on this July 4th, that each of you will find that same independence from whatever bondage, habits, or destructive behaviors have kept you from living your best life now. Continued>>

The Zoo

Several Years ago, the Denver zoo was given a large polar bear but had no place to keep it. They were forced to keep him in a cage so small that he could only walk 3 steps in any direction. It took 3 years to build him a new habitat. When the bear was finally taken to his new home he was so conditioned to only taking 3 steps that despite his freedom, he remained confined to a 3 step radius. After lengthy reconditioning the bear finally accepted its new habitat and recognized its greater boundaries.

Has your past conditioned you to think in terms of the limitations that surround you? Do you look at opportunities only to rule them out due to a lack of finances, resources or personnel? Perhaps today is a great time to recognize the potential of your surroundings and step into a world of opportunity.
