Genesis 1:3 "Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light." God spoke the world into existence. He didn't craft it with his hands, he didn't imagine it and then it happened. He said "Let there be light," and there was light." He spoke. I've lived most of my life being confident in my identity. I know who I am and am not afraid of living the way I want to live and doing the things I love. When it has come to speaking my mind in front of others and disagreeing or even just voicing what's going on in my head that's when I go quiet. It's not comfortable to me. I am an internal processor until given the opportunity to just share my thoughts one on one with someone. I like to be comfortable. I don't think there is anything wrong in being comfortable until it gets in the way of what God wants to do. That's when being comfortable needs to stop and where being obedient needs to start. 2 months ago I asked God what He wanted me to learn in this season. He said, "I want you to use your words in a powerful way, to bring influence, to speak against lies of the enemy, to proclaim My truths." So that's what I am doing.I've stumbled over my words WAY more in the last few months that I probably ever had in my life. I'm learning to let go of perfectionism and just speak even if I haven't completed my thoughts. It means a lot of things haven't made very much sense. But I am being obedient. Doing something uncomfortable is hard but being obedient I've found is always worth it. My words might seem jumbled for a season and my thoughts all mixed up. But I am speaking truths, breaking down lies, bringing influence one word at a time. For me the lesson is speak up, you never know who could be listening or what influence it can be. For you it could be something else. If nothing else, be obedient to the lesson God is trying to teach you. Photo via: http://www.f2studio.es/sesion-de-pareja/sesion-de-pareja-en-usa.html
