FREE

1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."

FREE

I just want to be free

Free from all the heartache and pain,

I don't want to be angry and bitter

I just want to authentically smile again.


I just want to be free 

Free from all the past oppression, 

I don't want to be mad all the time

I've realized every situation doesn't need a reaction.


I just want to be free 

Free from the hold hostility has over me,

I don't want to continue to be mean 

I just want to live my life in peace.


I just want to be free

I don't always mean to be rude,

I don't want to end up old and lonely

I just want to work on my attitude.


I just want to be free 

I promise I really do mean well,

I have a heart of gold 

But somewhere I fell under Satan's wrath spell.


I just want to be free 

I have to get well for my daughter, 

I don't want her to see the fury side of me 

She needs to remember all the amazingly pleasing things I've taught her.


I just want to be free 

I know I'm a good person and a great friend,

I'm don't want people to be afraid to be around me 

I'm choosing to put the wicked side of my personality to an end.


I just want to be free 

I don't like pushing those that love me away,

I'm tired on holding on to those that hurt me

I just need to take time to pray.


I just want to be free 

Lord, I ask that you help me,

Give me the things I need 

That'll allow me to break free,

Free from my unpleasant temper 

So me and those around me can be genuinely happy.

I just want to be free!

At some point in life you have to grow up. Maturity doesn't always come with age. But, as I've gotten older, I have learned that maturity comes with knowing, admitting and accepting your flaws. Maturity comes with knowing when it's okay to be quiet (every situation does not need a response). Maturity comes with knowing how to react to certain actions, meaning every action doesn't calls for a reaction out of you. See, I'm choosing to work on me. It is funny that everyone can tend to point out everyone else flaws and problems but their own. Me personally, I have my own issues. No time to worry about anyone else's. Most times the people with the least room to talk always has the most to say. But, I say that change starts with you. The only person that I am in competition with or trying to be better than is the one that is looking back at me when I look in the mirror. When I decided that I wanted to be genuinely happy, I decided to just let it all go. I know that my attitude is not the best and I am not always the nicest person, but I am owning it and I am willing to change it. There are things and people that has hurt me and I was holding on to that anger, still asking why and what if, but I forgive them and I am moving on. I am choosing to use my bitter to make myself better. The past will no longer hinder me. I'm making a pledge to change. At some point in life some things are no longer cute and other things don't really even matter anymore. At some point in life you have to grow up!
