Recently while I was walking around the house we’re staying in, I became increasingly aware of how the floor squeaked and creaked when I stepped on it, and while it does that for everyone, I became very self conscious about it. The mean voices in my head told me the floor creaking was even louder under my weight opposed to the other girls in the house.
I began to tiptoe around the house, hoping to make as little noise as possible, when the Holy Spirit just showed me an image and spoke so clearly to me. He showed me a huge tidal wave, and said, “you try to step lightly throughout the house so as not to make your weight from stomping known. You do the same in life, but I want you to make your weight in me known so you can shake things up.”
Woah, okay Jesus, way to hit me like a ton of bricks, but it’s so true! Often times I tiptoe around people and topics so as not to shake things up and make a mess, but the Lord has really been working in me to take that step of faith. Step out, make a wave, shake things up. Ultimately I need to let God speak through me, and I feel like I may have suppressed that at times.
So here I am, Lord. I’m ready to shake things up, to make a mess, and to make an impact on lives around me. Use me, speak through me. I’m ready.
Thanks for reading my blog! In case you haven’t heard, I’m officially fully funded! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, or loved on me through this whole process. Y’all are super rad, and I’m uber grateful.
