What Do You Want To Break Free Of this Independence Day?

Happy Fourth of July!
This Independence Day, Glimmers in the Fog is taking a bit of a vacation day to celebrate freedom's blessings and all things summer. But if you have a moment this week to ponder the meaning of the holiday, you might ask yourself, what is the number one thing you would love to break free of in your life. Is there something on the throne of your heart other than God or is there a habit that is crippling your freedom in Christ? It could be something that you are not doing that you need to start, or it could be something in your past that still haunts you. No matter what it is, today can be your own personal and spiritual independence day. A fresh start. A celebration of Christ making you a new creation each and every day that you yield to His Spirit working in your life. 

Summertime is the perfect opportunity to start anew with whatever change God is urging you to make. Like an endless blue sky on a cloudless summer day, the promises of God reach as far as you can dream. So take a deep breath and look heavenward for everything you need to move forward. "The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it." (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
