money = freedom

tonight i was sitting listening to an investment broker discuss her job. a statement she made really jumped out at me. she said 'having money is freedom. it means you can do what you want, when you want'. sure, in some ways this statement makes a lot of sense. this woman is no dummie.
but then i started to think about what freedom really is. freedom to me is not about buying what i want, when i want it. but rather being able to be who i was created to be, all the time. and this is something having money or not having money should not affect.
by western world standards, i really don't have much money. by wordly standards, i have so much. freedom to me, has nothing to do with what is in my bank account. to be honest, i have and earn less now than i have in the past, but i am much more free.

Galation 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
