“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.” -Luke 19:40
I’ve been feeling the prompting to create and share, compelled to use the creativity with which God’s gifted me, to perhaps serve as a connection to others. It’s the 10th of July, 2022, and much of the future content has been stored to bursting over the last couple of years.
I’ve judged myself a lot as this page has come to fruition. I can’t do it. I’m too stupid. No one wants to hear what I have to say. If someone SEEMS to connect with what I feel like the Lord has blessed me with, it’s only because they’re trying to be kind. No one really gets me. I know what I mean, no one else will understand. I. Am. A. Crazy. Person. You name it, I’ve claimed it, and it should never have been so. Today, I’m beginning my journey in reclaiming souls, beginning with mine.
This is for everyone. I’m a woman, so ladies, I hope this effort long-in-coming is particularly helpful for you. Male or female, loneliness and self-doubt have plagued me. The last two years have brought discouragement, despair, and isolation that I’m not sure I’ve experienced at this level before. Anyone able to relate?
Do you feel unseen? Unheard? Do you think your thoughts don’t matter or your efforts won’t make an impact? And if you try, it’s never going to be good enough? Me too. The good news is: it’s a feeling, it’s temporary, it’s a lie from the evil one…and it too will pass.
Our Heavenly Father has been sharing his creative, loving heart with me. I don’t have it anywhere near all together yet…but he’s showing me just how much he loves me…us…through vision and nature. The rocks are crying out. I hear them. And despite my imperfect efforts and the way I’ve allowed fear to stall how The Father wants to use me, He’s been ever-patient.
He’s patient with you too. He’s talking to you too. And He wants to use your amazing self to reflect Him. You are radiant. You are the literal light of the world, and radiance of God. You are here for His glory, and He has your, our ultimate good at heart.
So…join me if you’d like. One person may read. Or none. Or a zillion. The truth is, it doesn’t matter. He’s sovereign, He loves me fiercely, and He’s shared this with me. And I don’t believe it’s just for me. My constant prayer has been that I be filled to overflowing for His glory and the good of His people. He’s offered me joy and contentment in the obedience of sharing….and I trust if He’s calling me to it…it won’t return void.
I hope the vision He’s blessed me with in one of the hardest seasons of my life moves you to seek His heart, be encouraged in His company, and filled to overflowing as He shows you YOUR purpose.
Because you have one. And you too are loved, fiercely.
We are seen. We are heard. And in Christ, we matter.
If you don’t believe me…ask the rocks.
