It's scary. Really, really scary.
But it's so good…if we choose to let it be.
I usually choose the opposite.
As with most things in life.
I always think I'm there tho…but in reality I'm normally one step behind. Or more.
When trying to come up with the perfect way to start this blog, I thought about it for a while. Days actually. I thought of song lyrics, quotes from famous authors and even a knock-knock joke involving “shellfish” shrimp. All those would have been great, but it's the exact thing I'm trying [NOT] to do.
I'm trying to grow. I'm trying to stretch. I'm trying to be obedient. I'm trying to unlock my voice…my roar. Unlock the truth that is in me to be free and shared with others. Unlock the understanding that what I have to say can bring glory to God. That it doesn't matter if I have adequate words at this moment now – He'll give them to me when I speak or write His story.
Not over-analyzing a situation like usual and trying to make my words exactly perfect hasn't been easy. I've done it for the majority of my life…but now, now that is going to change. Instead of not thinking that I'm silencing myself, I'm realizing that I've been doing exactly that.
In doing so, not letting the enemy win another round. Declaring [even tho I'm not standing on a chair] that my voice will change the world. Declaring that my roar…my roar is loud. My roar is bold. My roar is wonderful. My roar is a movement. My roar will be His tool. My roar will influence. My roar possesses greatness. My roar will tear down walls. My roar will be like fire.
My words matter because I matter. The words I speak have the power to change lives because of Christ living in me. They are great because He is great. When we speak, our words resonate in the atmosphere forever. They are never silenced again…they just go to a new place. A new place for a new person to hear. They are free. Free to fight. Free to impact. Free to make a difference. So now…now instead of choosing silence, I choose to speak…will you do the same?
I have the voice.
I am the movement.
So open the doors.
Unlock my roar…
I am Jesus to the nations. I am Jesus to the world.
If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would have soon lived in the land of silence – Psalm 94:17
