Starting to Share

I'm starting to share our story. Beyond this blog (which at this point has no readers!).

I've had a secret Facebook account for a while just for things like Facebook Marketplace or other services that require Facebook to log in. But this week I started adding friends - really all the friends I can find!

It's step one in sharing our story. I'm not sure yet how much I will share - of my life now, of our story then, of my journey vs. G's journey. This is more of a test - or maybe a taste - of what it will be like to share.

Already it'

s brought out some yuck in my heart.

Feeling like I need the validation of "likes". Worrying about what people will think of me. Of G.

It's also giving me a sense of freedom. These people who don't know - they now know. So I don't have to worry about skating around questions in conversation. I don't have to hide and pretend like we are normal anymore.

And God has been reminding me of the importance of "the one". If a post helps one person, it matters. He would do it for the one. Jesus always concerned himself with the one. He healed one woman, one child, one person at a time - not the masses. And he healed them and spoke to them individually. He saw them, they mattered. Each person.

So it matters if one person is encouraged by a post. If one person considers Jesus. If one person leans towards God instead of running away.

Success will not be measured in likes, in follows, in friends but in faithfulness.

I will be faithful to share what God puts on my heart to share. I will share "in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results up to God".
