Ok, so I just got done watching "Freedom Writers". Great movie. Even though I can't even come close to relating what they where going through as far as the gang life, what I can take away from the movie is that we all have situations that arise in life that we have to make the hard choices. We are all going through something. Something that holds us back from the freedom that we want so badly. Fear of rejection. That sin that always haunts us that we hold on to in our past. That sin that haunts us that we can't get rid of even now. The pain of someone close to us hurting us physically or mentally. It won't go away. But we have to make that choice ourselves. It takes us to make the first step to change. I know, this all sounds cliche... "We can make a difference" "Heal our hearts, heal the world" But all of these thoughts came because someone found out that by stepping out of thier comfort zone and taking on the fears, they could come to the relization that they can be free. That they can dream bigger than anyone ever dreamed before. Martin Luther King began with a dream. Joseph (the one with the sweet many colored jacket) started with a dream. It was a hard road to get where he had to go, but he trusted in God and the God given dream became reality. Dreams don't come without pain and the giving of something else. If they were easy, they wouldn't be dreams, they would be easily atainable ideas.
You take the first step in dealing with your fear. That first step is the decision of taking on the fear. Then, you find someone to help you get through that fear. Family. Blood relitives or not. You need family. People you trust. People that can ask you the hard questions. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be in the middle of my dream and have it come crashing down because I never dealt with my fear. If I take on my fear alone, I take on pride and false humilty. I take upon me the very thing that brought Lucifer to the complete opposite of who God is. Total darkness. The comeplete feeling of being alone. Ever wonder if Lucifer would have just had Gabriel or Michael ask him the hard questions about his life from time to time and took on that acountability with them?....man...how different would life be. Idiot.
Now I ask you? Idiocy or freedom.....it's your choice.
