Since blogging became a thing, close friends have been suggesting I set up my own site because I have beautiful things to share. I guess when it’s about your personal experiences, you never really think much of it except when appreciating how God showed His hand on the matter.
I didn’t pay it any mind.
When vlogging became a thing, I was encouraged to do the same thing and, again, I wasn’t really interested. I thought it might come off a little narcissistic, thinking such things should only be done by celebrities or personalities that would be the equivalent of eye candy but has something substantial to share. I felt that was out of my league.
When my mobility was slowly limited by the need to be on a wheelchair but my spirit to help won’t keep me confined at home, that’s when I started to see things a little more clearly.
I began to see my teenage son spending a lot of what used to be just two hours of screen time for games. I began to see the people who would take the time to visit me for my insights and to “pick on my brains”. I began to see how I can provide encouragement even though done only via Zoom or phone calls. I began to see the truth in letting my light shine – not to boast, but to encourage others to do the same…so we can all light up together and dissipate the darkness that threatens to engulf this big beautiful world we live in and the lives we live.
I began to see.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
I invite you to explore with me. Let us take the time to commune on the digital space and use technology in advancing the kingdom agenda. Let us put up our lights so others in the darkness can see, and those valiantly treading through it will know that there is help where that light is shining. And as we come together, we will see that we can accomplish more for the Lord if we work according to His design.
Let your light shine!
