For years my concern was with how things look to others around me (i.e.how my kids behaved or didn't, how I behaved or didn't, clothes, condition of my house and so on) . Sometimes respected teachers seemed to place emphasis on the appearance to the world. Praise the Lord He is freeing me from this. My concern must be with serving, obeying and loving the God who made the stars and the slugs, the giraffes and the gnats, the hippos and the heavens .. then and only then will others "the world" see God at work in my life; only then will it be real. Only then will change that shows the world one who doesn't fit in but stands out to His glory. I will choose to serve the Lord! So when I feel the pressures of fitting the mold I will remember my redeemer and that I serve a great and mighty God and in His strength alone, all things (in His will) are possible. Don't leave bondage for more bondage. Freedom is in the Lord Jesus Christ! (My husband, my house, my kids, and my self belong to the Lord.) Blessed by open eyes...

Could it be that some of the time when I feel "pressured" it is conviction from the Holy Spirit and my response is as humans have always responded ....by blaming someone...Something to think about.
