So, I did a whole week of video content showing my face and using my voice on all my social media platforms, and I must say, I’m proud of myself.

If you know me, then you know I really don’t like being seen. The thought of thousands of strangers being able to see me and form an opinion about me is honestly mind-blowing. But I also know this is what God created me for.

I never thought reaching people would look like this. I thought ministry would always be inside the four walls of the church. But God had other plans. He showed me that there are people outside those walls who need encouragement, hope, truth, and prayer too.

I would’ve never imagined it would be this way, but hey, I can roll with it.

And then today, something happened that reminded me what this is really all about.

A complete stranger was bold enough to ask for prayer under one of my reels.

And I don’t know why, but that touched me.

Out of all the people and all the content they could’ve come across, they stopped and asked for prayer. To me, it felt like confirmation from God saying, “This is why.”

It’s not about views.

It’s not about followers.

It’s not about going viral.

It’s about people.

It’s about being available for God to use you wherever He places you.

I’m still getting comfortable with being seen. I’m still getting used to hearing my own voice and putting myself out there. But if God can use a simple video to reach somebody, then I’m willing.

I’m just grateful He chose me.

And if one person finds hope, gets encouraged, or knows they are not alone because of something God put on my heart to share, then every uncomfortable moment is worth it.

Obedience may not always look like what we imagined, but I’m learning that God’s plans are always bigger than ours.

And for that, I’m thankful.
