Faith
I have faith that God fashioned me and purposed my function.
That, my friend, is completely freeing!
I believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word. It's perfect message to humankind is very much applicable to life today. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21
The one true and living God is the Creator and Sustainer of all life. God exists in three distinct parts as Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. 1 John 5:7; 1 Corinthians 8:6
I was fashioned by the Master Designer. God, the Master Designer, fashioned all things, including me and you. His designs contain countless, intricate details and they’re evident. Look in the mirror! Humankind is one of His most fabulous designs. Each person is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. John 1:3; Psalm 139:13-14
I’m not perfect, but He is. I try to be, but it’s not possible to achieve. My human nature results in daily acts, thoughts, and feelings that discredit my Designer. These things (sins) should separate me from Him for eternity. Romans 3:23-26
I found freedom! God provided forgiveness of my sins and freedom from the punishment of eternal separation from Him through the perfect sacrifice and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. Because I believe and accepted His gift to me, I’ve been freed from the punishment of my sin and promised life eternal with Him in heaven. In heaven I will be perfect. John 3:16; John 8:32
I can function! God promises to help me through this life and equip me to do what He’s purposed as my function. Sharing freedom is my function.

Freedom that comes from restoration to God through Christ’s gift of forgiveness from sin.
-
Freedom that comes from accepting that you are His beautiful creation and learning how to reflect His beauty from the inside out.
-
Freedom that comes when you can successfully assemble a wardrobe that communicates confidence and dignity while expressing your individual personality.
-
Freedom that comes through the absence of clutter and the organization of what remains.
-
Freedom from the stress of planning and hosting a function (i.e. party, event, project, fundraiser, etc.) that you’re not equipped to handle alone.
John 8:32, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
