Boxed IN!

Today was a long, fun, sweaty day at work moving 50 lb boxes FOREVER! The best part, was being able to talk with my coworkers as I worked! It's been a crazy long summer without talking with them! You form friendships with your coworkers and I am so blessed to be working with an amazing random group of individuals!   I'm looking foward to continuing our conversations about faith/God. =)

I saw this quote last night and it has been tumbling through my mind like crazy:

Tonight, if you are in Christ, you are not struggling to be free.
In Christ, you are free to struggle."

I don't know about you, but I often feel 'boxed in' my sin... stuck. Even after I remind myself I am an overcomer, I still wonder when that 'OVER' part is going to start happening... of course the answer is perfection is in heaven, but seriously!? Can't I get anything right!? So when I saw this quote I was reminded of how true it is. Struggling to be free is living in bondage: It's living inside the box and not being able to escape. I'm free to struggle. Those who are in Christ, thier already free. The box is already been removed now it's about accepting freedom and walking in light of the freedom.
Box-bondage- darkness
no box- freedom- light

I love how my brain works =)
