I am free…

I am free; I am free;
I am free to be the servant of the Lord.
I am free; I am free;
I am free to be the servant of the Lord.

He taught me how to praise him.
He taught me how to sing his songs.
He taught me how to love,

I am free to be the servant of the Lord.
I am free; I am free;
I am free to be the servant of the Lord.
I am free; I am free;
I am free to be the servant of the Lord.

He taught me how to praise him.
He taught me how to sing his songs.
He taught me how to love,
I am free to be the servant of the Lord.


Every time I listen to this song of praise, I become absolutely emotional. Isn’t this what I have always wanted to be? FREE…..free to go anywhere I want to, free to do anything I want to, and be with whom I want to and most importantly, at whatever TIME I want to. TIME enslaves us and keeps us bound; not allowing us to do what we want to.

Today I may be FREE, but there have been times in the past when I was enslaved by time. I had to work full time and keep my Googaa in the crèche where she was mistreated. I had to request my mother and mother in law to take care of her because I couldn’t cope with the timings of work and home. How unhappy were those times in my life when I couldn’t manage the pressure. I had to sacrifice so much of my motherly time for Googaa. This must be the reason I have become short-tempered. I had to do so much in so less time.

Then along came Goldie. I had to divide my time between Googaa, Goldie, work, and home. Again I failed on so many occasions. I couldn’t put in my wholehearted efforts anywhere. There used to be constant struggle every day, everywhere. And how to forget the couple of uncooperative bosses!

This made me work part-time and this definitely brought the much-needed respite. I could manage things a little bit better but I guess still something was lacking in my life which God wanted me to address. I guess Jesus Christ wanted me to draw as close to Him as possible. For this He provided me with the most wonderful work-from-home option. Trust me; this is the most blessed thing that has happened to me. Now I can do anything I want to in my own convenient time – without being its slave!

I cook, I do my household chores, I work, I blog, I pray, I sleep – I do everything possible on this earth – at my own free time. And above all, I have all the time in the world to be the servant of the Lord. I can go to the church as many times I want to, I can attend all seminars/events of the church, attend all important meetings – I am not bound by the demon of time – this is what the Lord wanted for me and I am so glad it has happened. Life is so very beautiful now…
