I wound up staying up LATE reading the information. I had never heard of this before.<br /><br />It made me think - what do we inflict upon our daughters that is "for their own good" the way the mothers in China bound their daughters feet?

And if I careen from one experience that ties bonds on me to another, could it be that the thing I am bound to is the feeling of being bound itself? Do I seek out those experiences that take away my sense of perspective or control: being the best room mother, the best wife, the best Sunday School teacher, the most active Girl Scout leader . . . ? Bondage comes in so many forms -- what will free me??<br /><br />And when we talk about being "free in Christ," non-Christians scoff and say, "That's just another form of bondage." How are they right? How are they wrong?<br /><br />Dude!

Our bodies are bound to mortality, and eventually the ropes of age/illness/disease will squeeze our breaths to nothingness.<br /><br />However, our souls have the desire to live forever. They are designed to last for eternity. That is why my faith in Jesus is so precious. He loosens my fears and promises me life with Him in heaven.<br /><br />Though our bodies are tied to this earth, our souls are protected by a mighty God who loves every inch of us -- His creation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892000970462973808.post-51965910540728817902010-01-14T15:58:03.789-08:002010-01-14T15:58:03.789-08:00I am like you...I feel bound and restricted after ...I am like you...I feel bound and restricted after a while and need to break out and do something else.

And at first I judged too, and then realized the same thing in my own life. We all have bindings.<br /><br />This touched me today, because I've been having a few struggles of my own. I envision myself in a place in which I'm not yet, but someday hope to be, but it takes courage. And though I know I am a strong person, your inner you is the toughest to get passed. We are all our worse enemies, our harshest judges.<br /><br />I often wonder if we can truly find peace within ourselves or if it's just an illusion we've created...Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744290658088385238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892000970462973808.post-37059017837203448502010-01-14T06:43:42.837-08:002010-01-14T06:43:42.837-08:00Definitely an eye opener.

He beat her for the first time. She left him and ran to her grandma's (her mom died when she was 10) house. Her grandma made her go back to her husband. It's the culture that a woman should be by her husband no matter what. If he cheats, she must look the other way. It was worse to be divorced, than to be in an abusive relationship. <br /><br />Mother endured a lot from my dad because of this stupid custom/tradition.Lothirielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746888926301065265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892000970462973808.post-1121555498946342672010-01-13T19:44:15.298-08:002010-01-13T19:44:15.298-08:00You've really got me thinking from this post. ...You've really got me thinking from this post.
