Let Freedom Reign...

Let Freedom Reign…

As I reflect on Independence Day, I am thankful for so many things! Thankful for the freedom I have just by being an American citizen…thankful for the Freedom I have as a follower of Christ, knowing I am saved by grace and grace alone!

I’m thankful for the independence I’ve gained from learning the skills taught at the Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Raleigh, NC…for my teachers there and their commitment to enabling every blind person the opportunity to regain their independence after vision loss.

I’m thankful for the freedom to choose to live a life of independence and the privilege to help others make that same choice.

I’m thankful for all those who have gone before me and made a way for me to walk this road of freedom, independence, and grace. What an honor to walk in your footprints…to follow your legacy and to hopefully leave a legacy of my own that others can follow toward greater independence and freedom. Freedom not only from enemies that seek to destroy us, but from enemies that lie with in our hearts…hidden sins, addictions, failures, shames, poor choices, unforgiveness and so much more. We have Christ who gives us the grace, mercy and peace needed to make the right choices, seek forgiveness, take chances, make a new start, and begin to live and walk in His footprints, follow His legacy…for then, we can not fail and it is then we find the ultimate true Freedom and Independence!

Happy Independence Day my friends in Christ!
Lisa, the sightless but oh so free one!
