Freedom's Cry Within Us All

When people ask me where the name, Freedom's Cry, comes from I try to think back when I came up with it several years ago and I can't remember the exact thing that caused me to choose it.  However, I can tell you what it means and the intention behind it.  I believe strongly that God made each and every one of us a unique and special being.  We all have talents, gifts, desires, dreams unique to who we are.  When we do not fulfill these callings within us we find ourselves bound by limitations that society, family, ourselves would put upon us.  Our beings are calling out for freedom to be that which we were born to be, that which is completely and utterly unique and connected with the path of the universe and God's eternal plans for us!  FCI, the ministry I'm called to start, is about helping draw out that voice from within that might be bound by physical, emotional or intellectual limitations.  When that voice has a place to freely express itself we find ourselves at the beginning of a very exciting adventure where we  never know where we will end up but we do know that God will never leave us alone and others are brought beside us on the journey.  What do you think about your internal voice?

    Sometimes the cat has it's tongue. No, really. It is a long process to really learn to both hear and respond to that internal voice! Sometimes I think you have to live a lot before you recognize it, especially if you have been "groomed" for a certain role not of your choosing.

    I would agree with you. This is a process that takes a lifetime and some of us have lived several decades before we even have the ability to hear that voice or acknowledge that it exists. But, like my first blog title, it takes many small steps. Thanks for your input! It helps me grow as well.

    The word I believe we can eventually reach via that calling voice--it took me years--is "enthusiasm." I think it's interesting that this e-word comes from the Greek root word "theos" or, simply put "God." The word "enthusiasm" literally means "inspiration from God."

    May God bless you and keep you on the path for which you are called.
