Do It Anyway
I was in the middle of creating infographics and pdfs for our ministry (I can't even believe that is something I do now!) when I started to feel a little bit of panic creep into my heart.
I had just scheduled a post sharing some of the pieces that would be included in the “grief survival kits” we were creating to help families find hope during their time of loss. I hit the schedule button and my mind immediately swarmed with fear.
“What if I can't source enough product?”
“What if we can keep up with demand?”
“What if our ministry can’t raise enough funds?”
Or worse,
“WHAT IF NO ONE WANTS OUR KITS AT ALL!?”
I almost closed my computer and stopped everything right there.
I almost told myself to forget the whole thing and just focus on my own family and let someone else deal with helping others. Someone else would be better at it than me anyway. Someone else knows how to do all this stuff way better than me.
Then, I said, “FORGET THAT!”
God gave me this purpose, and I am going to follow through on it.
God asked ME to join Him on this mission, and I said YES, not someone else, regardless of their blogging/ministry/writing/website/graphic design know how, this is my task and I am going to do it.
God asked me to jump in all the way, both feet, no looking back, no questioning how, just diving in all the way and TRUSTING that HE will provide the tools, the funds, the knowledge, EVERYTHING needed to achieve this thing.
So, that's what I’m doing. I’m continuing to show up. I am creating content, limping through the techy stuff, googling everything I don’t know how to do (I’m googling everything), developing infographics, and sourcing the components for our kits, because they are needed, because the families that will receive them are important and deserve a box full of items to help them navigate this very hard life.
The enemy will try to creep into every every good thing and attempt to destroy it, DON’T let him! Don’t fall for the lies of inadequacy, you are enough! You’re willingness to do the hard things is enough, you’re good, good, Father will cover the places where you fall short. All you have to do is say YES.
Always Hopeful,
Michelle
