Free & Humble. What's in a Name?

What's in a name... a lot. 
What's in a Name? Free and Humble

Let's take a dive into why we're called, Free & Humble.

FREE

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary lists many definitions of the word free, but I think the most relevant to this brand name is...

enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another You free to do whatever you want.

After admiring entrepreneurs for many years, reading their books, and watching their videos, I decided that independence and freedom was exactly what I was looking for. After all, all I've ever wanted was to be a good and present momma. Granted, it was not the timing I had expected, but I know God is in control and I'm excited to fuel the car as He leads me in the right direction. 

If you're looking for freedom, let this be a place of inspiration for you. Share your journey with me. Let's do this together. 

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Ephesians 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.  
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.  
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.  
1 Corinthians 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

HUMBLE

not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary paints a few pictures of the word humble, but you've just read my favorite. 

When you begin a new journey, it's easy to be humble. After all, you don't completely know what you're getting into or where you will end up. 

Let's face it, there is not much more humbling than losing your job.

However, it's common for folks to lose humbleness and take on a spirit of arrogance as they begin to succeed. 

My wish for myself and others is that we can be free and successful while remaining humble and continuing to help others do the same.

Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. 
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

FUN FACT

Free appears in the bible 58 times. 

Humble appears in the bible 24 times.

The total amount of times both words in the Bible... 82 times. I was born in 1982, I take that as a good sign that I am on the right track.

God’s Steppingstones: They’re Ready, Will You Walk the Path He Has Prepared

The original title of this post was, "God Lays His Steppingstones One at a Time", but that cannot be further from the truth. God has had His steppingstones laid out before the beginning of time. He already knows every step that will ever be taken. He only reveals them to us one step at a time. Let's be honest, that is not easy for humans, at least not for me anyway. I like to know my next steps before I take them. I want to know what will happen, how soon it will happen, and who will be involved, but things don't always work that way.  God is in control and we must always remind ourselves of that. However, there are some things we can (and must) control. Has God laid a stepping stone for you that you were supposed to step on a LONG time ago? I mean, I don't need to know, that's between you and God, but I know I've been guilty! Sometimes we wait on God's answers, but sometimes God is way ahead of us. He's just waiting on us to take that next step, w...

God Will Provide, Just Trust in Him: How He Used a Metaphor to Remind Me

Have you ever felt like a bird with clipped wings? No matter how hard you flap and wail around, you feel like you can't get anywhere. Sure, you still get some flight time, but it's slower and not as far as you would like. I have to admit that I'm feeling that way right now and my heart is hurting for others that feel the same.  It's easy to ask, "God, why? Why are you allowing me to go through this?" It's like we automatically assume that the scissors that clipped our wings are in His hands, but that's not usually the case.  THE BIRDCAGE Just five months ago, I was working at my nine-to-five (tucked nicely into my little birdcage). I had worked there for over 12 years and didn't really have plans to leave, but God had other plans . I was supplied with food and water (paycheck) consistently and my cage was kept clean and tidy (I had great colleagues and loved the work), but God wanted more for me.  THE RELEASE The freedom of being released from my b...

We’re Raising God’s Kids and They’re Watching Our Every Move

Something happened last night that I have to share! I had just gotten home from a softball meeting with my oldest daughter and as I was cooking supper I noticed that my youngest daughter’s Bible was open on the couch. I didn’t ask her about it right then because my oldest daughter’s boyfriend was over, I was cooking supper, and I was filling my husband in on the softball meeting. You know how life distracts you.  Anyway, after I was done cooking supper my youngest brought her phone over to me and wanted me to look at a couple of pictures. After I took her phone in my hand I realized these were no ordinary pictures. She had been reading her Bible and took the text from her Bible, and the lessons that she had learned, and made graphics with inspirational messages. Guys, do you know how much that blessed my heart?! My daughter is watching me. She sees me living for God, reading my Bible, and sharing the word. Now, she’s excited to do the same!  After our good night prayers, my gi...
