So I was thinking the other night, about the kind of gal that I used to be... and the results of such careful study were quite disparaging. In a lot of ways the girl I used to be was a lot free-er... and in some ways, not nearly as free.
And when I say free... I really mean that particular brand of freedom that comes from Christ.
I know... I know... how can I classify different types of freedom in Christ? Aren't we all covered under the same freedom? Yes, we are... but I think that at different times in my life I have been more or less aware of certain freedoms in some areas of my life.
