Bondage!

Bondage you say...... Most think whips, chains, even being tied up. However the bondage I am referring to is the one we have a denial about being in. Are you ever honest enough with yourself to say I am in bondage right now? The answer is NO, well I should say I know I haven't. I do know that we all have some kind of bondage rather we want to admit it or not. I can only speak for myself, my bondage was control, which stopped me from being open minded and hearing what others had to say, I felt like if I listen to others then I was losing my control and they were gaining what I had. The bondage I have now is my weight it is preventing me from doing things such as learning to swim, running with my kids, even dancing which I love to do. I have also noticed that with the weight bondage this blood pressure that I have does not disappear or leave if anything it rises higher which can cause me to have strokes and heart attacks, but God! So what is your bondage? It could be, sex, compulsive eating, stealing, lying, drinking, shopping, drugs, prostitution, people pleasing, gossiping. I have provided a list of things that can cause us to be in bondage. Once you realize what your bondage is do you know how to get support while in your bondage. Well if you don't I can shine some light on what you can do. My church has this life group that I attend called (CR) Celebrate Recovery, this life group has open me up in ways I would not have even thought was possible, but God. It allows you to speak aloud on issue that you are scared to speak on, you receive support, and I am learning I can do nothing by myself. We are better together. Please get connected to a life group or find a spiritual partner, if you have any questions on how to do either please feel free to ask me. Love you be blessed and smile!
