On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed separating the original 13 colonies from Great Britain. It took an act of Congress and a committee of five to declare independence. The American Revolution precipitated and followed the signing, showing that people were willing to die for their independence. From the outset, Americans have celebrated July 4th with parades, fireworks, barbeques, picnics and the like.
What freedoms are you fighting for?
Financial freedom?
Freedom from being tied to the desk at work?
Freedom from suppression of thought, creativity, or expression?
We allow so many things to hold us back from our own personal freedoms. Fear. Relationships. Money.
1n 1994, acclaimed country artist Martina McBride released “Independence Day”, written by Gretchen Peters, about an abusive husband and his wife who set their house on fire and “lit up the sky that Fourth of July.”
“Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
it's Independence Day.”
The wife had clearly had enough of the status quo and was ready for a change. Our forefathers had also had enough of the status quo and were ready for a change.
Are you tired of the status quo? Ready for a change?
Let this July 4th be your Declaration of Independence. Decide what you want and what you are willing to fight for to achieve. Enlist your army to help you in your own personal revolution.
