So I started a new series.
I am a HUGE history geek. Like, talk to me about history and you will have my undivided inattentive ADHD, attention , ...for real. The series I am talking about is "The Man In the High Castle."
A few of my close girlfriends had/have been watching it, so I decided to start it as well. Why? Well, mostly because it has to deal with WW2. Now, granted this is a Sci-Fi, dystopian view, of what the USA would be like in the year 1962, had the Allied powers lost, and Japan and Nazi Germany now occupy our beautiful United States.
Let me say this:
Thank you Jesus in Heaven for not allowing the Axis powers to win. Of course, this series (based off of book) is just someone's science fictional ( lots of "time traveling" involved in this series as well) idea of what COULD have happened. Nonetheless, we are so incredibly blessed to have the freedom we do.
Freedom.
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that word? I suppose, depending on where you live, that term can mean many different things. I was born, and raised, in these great states of North America. Freedom to me has meant pretty much my choice on anything in the truth of my faith, to the clothes I choose to wear, to the words and the occupations I have chosen. I am sure the word "Freedom" to the countries of Russia, Ukraine, China, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Uganda and many, many more countries, mean something very, very different. The freedom I have to wear a seatbelt, results in a $15 fine or not. (depending on the officer on that given day). The freedom my friends in Uganda have to keep a small , private orphanage and school going is a much, much bigger price to pay. It hurts my heart everyday when I think of what my friends across the globe struggle with on a day in and day out basis when it comes to the word, "freedom.:"
For us in America, we also have the freedom of bodily autonomy. Sure, we may complain about our deductibles, our "lacking in bedside manner " doctor, or having to wait to be seen by a specialist. Yet, in between all of that, we also have the freedom to run in the sun, cut out sugar and processed foods, while choosing to eat whole, fresh foods, (even when pricier, because of food sitting on shipping containers or semi trucks fighting for freedom). We ALL still have the ability to buy a package of seeds, throw them in the dirt, and give them the love and attention they need to grow into sustaining food for our bodies. We have farms galore in our areas, growing all sorts of foods, sustainably, so that we can purchase them when it's not in our budget, time or space to do ourselves. (Thank you Adam's Heirlooms and Greater Lake Farms of Francis Creek Wi).
I can't make people love history like me. I can't make people see how history repeats itself when good men sit back and do nothing. The one thing I can do, is help people see how valuable they are to this world, and how God created each and everyone of them for a specific purpose and plan. Basically, if you are still breathing in oxygen and exhaling Co2, God has a plan for you. Period,
Ok, great!! We have established that fact and guess what? Absolute Truth DOES in fact still exist and you, my friend reading this, are part of that Absolute Truth.
You are loved. You are needed. You are part of the bigger picture and plan awaiting.
There is absolutely ZERO bargaining or discussion on that.
The only thing to discuss, is your "why." Maybe you are unsure of your "why." Maybe you are COMPLETELY CLUELESS, not only on your "why," buy what even IS a "why?!"
Through a life of 30 plus years of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, chronic disease, loss, miscarriages, marriage struggles and more.....I can ASSURE you, you have a "why." A BIG "why". A "YUGE" "why. " And I am here, and I believe called by our Lord above, to help you find, and show you how to navigate your "Why".
If you feel stuck, lost, hopeless, desperate, or just plain stale as to what is your "why" and how to bring your dreams and plan to fruition, let's chat.:)
