It is through the Ownership and teaching of my Lord that I have been given the gift of understanding on many subjects, I do however, realize that I have so much more to learn and with His guidance and mercy these lessons will be conquered at the appropriate time. I could not share this writing with you unless I first gave praise and recognition where it is due. The words below were inspired by my Owner and with His permission – I share them with you.
Liberty is the right to exercise the freedom one has obtained. But freedom from what? Freedom from who? Where does freedom exist? So many questions - so few honest answers. Most people try to twist the true meaning liberty and freedom is supposed to have to those that are truly striving to be the women they have been called and chosen to become. Everyone has a destiny, but many fail to follow it.
Freedom – so many women strive for it, so many people pray, beg and plead for it, but do they really want it? Do they really understand it? And at what cost are they willing to obtain it? What they fail to realize is that true freedom is the liberty that lies within us to be who are designed to be.
Freedom has so many different meanings to everyone. It could mean freedom from abuse, freedom from pain, freedom from debt, freedom from any type of harmful bondage whether mental, emotional, spiritual or physical. Female activists are always screaming for freedom. But they do not even know what freedom is?
Women find their true freedom in being what we are destined to be – subservient. It is only when a woman surrenders her entire being to a man which deserves her subservience that she is truly free. Free from the illusion society is trying to shove off on her. The illusion that the ego can says, “I can do anything I want, whenever I want to.” This is a direct outward, as well as inward, sign of blatant rebellion. Rebellion has no place in freedom. Rebellion has no place in subservience.
We need to come to the place where we realize and say “I can do only one thing – serve.” To the ego that sounds like a death sentence, but to the authentic self it is profoundly liberating, because that one thing is wholehearted submission to a power that is greater than we can ever hope or strive to be. This one thing – is what guarantees our freedom.
We often hear the common aphorism “Freedom has a price” and this is usually followed by a few condescending remarks meant to imply that someone has not been responsible enough in their decisions. I have learned while freedom may infact have a price, the rewards and benefits of paying that price far outweigh the cost itself.
A short time ago, I learned a new meaning of freedom. It is the freedom to finally follow my soul and my destiny. Not many are lucky enough to be able to do this. It often seems that life has a way of creeping up on a person and changing their entire existence, most of the time for the bad. Yet, the rewards that I reap by the sacrifice given to obtain my true freedom are what give my heart the lyrics to the melody that my Owner has given to me.
For more than two centuries now, Americans have demanded successive expansions all in the name of ‘freedom’. Expansions of voting and civil rights, education, health benefits, knowledge, protection from fear, and the ‘freedom’ to follow ones dreams and visions. But with the society we live in today the very core meaning that freedom began with is being jeopardized. The sad part of all of this is, is that it is happening right under our noses. The practice of redesign is cognitive. It is in our brains. It is who we are, but we can’t see it. It has been defined that freedom is an “essentially contested concept,” meaning that there will always be diverse and dubious variations of freedom that are inconsistent with each other. There is no single, universal, or objectively correct meaning of freedom. But in reality there is a single, unchallenged, but imperfect, core meaning of freedom that everyone agrees on. Simply put, freedom is the absence of coercion, or is it?
A great French existentialist philosopher once said, (paraphrasing here) that “Freedom is not the license to do whatever you desire, but is the opportunity to become who you are.” (Sartre) I really had to pause and meditate on this. The impact this phrase alone carry’s is absolutely astonishing and unfathomable.
Until recently I was never able to directly relate personally to this concept or idea. Then I met someone I know and call my Lord. He has changed my entire life. He has opened new doors to me that I never even knew existed. He has taken me down paths that I had feared; yet deep inside so desperately yearned to follow. He took the time to look past all of my hurts, pains, walls of stubbornness and oceans of shyness and has turned me into a person I never dreamed I could be. He took the time to conquer all that was within me and turn it to dust in His hands only to reform me in the image I was created to be for His glory and benefit. Because of this, He alone is worthy to be praised.
He gives me strength, love, hope, faith, security, happiness and above all freedom. To most this would sound contradictory considering the circumstances in which my freedom exists. It is through and by His ownership that I have found my freedom. What many fail to see is that it is in the release of the bondage of living a life without submission to thriving in a world built on submission, that I am truly free. Free to be who I am called, destined and designed to be – His subservient.
Simply put it is the freedom from – that has given me the freedom to be that which I am called to be.

)....the important thing is to accept we are not perfect and to maintain some sense of doing our best to come as close to that perfection as is possible. It never ends, the point of perfection never becomes a reality, but the desire is there.
