Oh my stars.
I was praying over how God wanted this information to be shared and yep, as predicted, He nudged me to go the least comfortable route – He nudged me to vlog.
I think most of you know I would like to hide behind the words that come from my laptop, which means I prefer to write any old day. There’s a delete button for crying out loud. I need delete buttons.
A few years ago, I did a vlog series and I abandoned it because the lighting always needed to be perfect and if I said something I regretted, I had to start all the way over and honestly, ain’t nobody got time for that.
So I chose the path of least resistance and went back to the comfy old chair of writing.
I’ll vlog each Monday through the end of February (possibly into the first few weeks of March) and it will be grossly amateur and unedited.
But the message will challenge us because we are going to talk about loving each other well.
Since it’s the kick-off, it’s just a bit longer than four minutes but I will try to keep them to under four minutes in the future. Again, ain’t nobody got time for more than that in the video world. At least that’s what research says.
I hope you will join me in the Love Well Project during the next few weeks – Happy 2014, friends!
Also, I’m blessed to be hosting “Inspire Me Mondays” with some of my favorite people (spear-headed by Angie Ryg.) Click below for some fun inspiration!
Sounds exciting!
Loved the video. Can’t wait till the next one. :)
You’re so wonderful!
I want to say first, welcome back, and second, thanks for the great idea! God has been pressing on my heart this very issue. I feel that since I am not the most social person in the world, I am at my best trying to reach people one at a time by my heart and actions- who I am. While this may be good, I really don’t go outside of a couple people that I work with. I could love more and reach out more- if just by being kind and loving more.
In my mind, I relate this series to what we called when I was in the military “Leading by example”. My drill seageant lined my platoon up each day and came out in his starched uniform looking great. He would call out a soldier and tell the soldier to inspect him- not holding back. When the soldier found something, the DS would say something similar to “If this was wrong with my uniform then if it’s messed up on your uniform, you will not be penalized for it today.” Rarely did we find anything, but it is what we are doing by “Loving Well” in a way (or by the way it hit my heart as you spoke). We are the example. The way we act, walk, talk, and the kindness we show gives rise to God’s love in us. If people see and experience that love, they will turn to God and know and love Him as well. We lead by example by our love and our actions. We don’t hold peoples problems against them, expecially if we too have had those problems ourselves. We smile and encourage, we love. They will see God’s love through our own. When it’s someone like what you said, people that are hard to love, we love anyway.
I’m learning that everyday I guess. Sorry for writing so much, but I admit I’m excited to do this with y’all. I love that I can put a voice to the writings. Thanks to you all and I hope to learn alot with you all!
So fun! I have several vlogs started. This might give me the kick on the pants, or courage, to actually publish one. might. ;)
I love this and what a beautiful inspiration for Inspire Me Monday!
So looking forward to when we get to meet in real life again! XO
