2019 is the year where I’m bold, brave, put myself out there and chase after my passions, even if it’s incredibly scary at times. I’m going to withhold nothing, and give my everything. I know the risks will eventually bring rewards. I know God can do it and God can use me. Amen.
Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Matthew 6
the sad thing is, everyone thinks they’re so forgettable, or they don’t mean anything to anyone. but you don’t see your high school friend, smiling to themselves, when they think about your quirks or how dramatic you used to be whenever you got a crush. you don’t see the person who saw you around a lot but was always too shy to talk to you. you don’t remember the person you helped, and maybe you didn’t do much for them, but you didn’t know that they were having a shitty month and you sparked their first real smile in weeks. you don’t see the person that secretly loved you too, who never forgot the soft words that you said, or the way you smiled whenever you saw them, or how you reminded them of sunshine and flowers; and how the thought of you pops into their mind more than you will ever know and in the randomest of places. you will never know that a soft song or strawberries or a sunset will remind someone of you. they will go to the beach and think of you for some reason, until they remember that the last time they saw a color as beautiful and as profound as the ocean was when they looked in your eyes. no one knows their impact on people, or their worth. no one thinks they will be missed when they leave, but they don’t know that once you go into someone’s life, even for a fleeting moment, you stay forever, and you take up a soft place that no one else could ever replace.
“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer.”
— C.S. Lewis

God will not ask you to do something and just let you go off and do it on your own. He will help you begin it, He will show you how to accomplish it, He will continue to be there as you undertake the task, and He’ll help you carry it out to completion. He won’t just be waiting at the end for you - He is walking the race WITH you. He is not like your boss who will show you how to do something and leave you to it. He is not like your parents who will support you but leave you to grow independence. He is not like your friends who support you until they meet you at the finish line.
He is God.
He will be helping you achieve the task He wants you to do and will not leave you at any point during.
Turn to Him and ask where He is in the task He has set before you. If He wants you to do it then you’d better believe He’ll assist you in making in happen. He knows you need His help and can’t accomplish His plan alone.
