Journey to Freedom with Rev. Dr. Victoria Bomberry

CSL-White Rock Sunday's Message

This Sunday we are so excited to welcome Rev. Dr. Victoria Bomberry as our guest speaker who will provide us with the final installment of our February focus on forgiveness. With her talk, Journey to Freedom, she explains,

‘Freedom is intimately bound to responsibility. There can be no freedom without a shared responsibility for one another and for ourselves. Freedom is dependent upon the basic human rights of each person to live with dignity and respect. Forgiveness allows us to move beyond the chains that have bound us and live in a way that cultivates freedom for all.'

Freedom…such a delicious word! This month, the forgiveness work I have been following with Rev. Cassandra Rae’s sharing of ‘the four-fold path of forgiveness’ has made clear for me that I have been settling for a ‘veneer of peace’ for seven long months. This explains my off-the-chart cravings for comfort food and the heaviness of my heart. Sigh. I can see how I tricked myself into believing that this veneer was the genuine article.

The agonizing letter that I buried 7 months ago is beginning to affect my health and embarking along the path of genuine forgiveness towards Peace is the answer. Yet, I am as excited about the deep work required for this journey as I would be for impending major dental surgery. Deep breath. Yup, putting on my big-girl pants, I step onto the necessarily arduous path of forgiveness towards Peace and Freedom.

Embracing Love, Forgiveness, Peace, and Freedom
