"Influence"
This has been something that has been prophesied over me by various people numerous times now.
At the start of this year, during some quiet time I spent with God, I felt Him say that 2015 would be my most influential year yet.
And then not too long after that, my dearest ex-housie Sammy asked me if I would like to partner with her company The User Guide Films to shoot a short video for a series on hope. She asked me if I would be willing to share about my journey with Essential Thrombocythemia.
Before I agreed to it, I thought about how.. well, naked this would make me feel. I considered that suddenly hundreds of people I was acquainted with but didnt really know, and many strangers as well, would know this part of my life that has for the most part, been kept within close circles.
But then I thought about how God always told me to share my stories which spoke more of His grace than of my strength. I thought of the purpose of this segment - to inspire hope, and realized that I would much rather release this story at that price than to keep it to myself for the sake of privacy, and never get to see any other good ever come from it.
I still remember that one train ride I spent with God, and He said to me clearly, "What the enemy intended for evil, I intended for good."
So much more good has come out of this than I ever expected. Truly.
2 years later, I'm still kicking, and I know the heart of my Father in Heaven much clearer than before. I have experienced how much He really loves me and dreams big for me and to have gone through all this with Him has been an experience that I would not trade for any other. Truly, my hope is found in Christ alone and I would in no way be who I am today without Him.
And so, a few hours off the plane on my weekend trip home for a wedding, I was in a park ready to share my story with the team. It was exciting though!
...
Since its release several days ago, I have been so overwhelmed by the amount of support and shares that have come my way from it. Papa said to me, "It will reach whoever it needs to reach." I have been very blessed in return, and am so grateful that this is an adventure I get to still hold His hand on and walk through, and that the fruits of it are still in bloom.
God, You have been so good to me, and just because that's who You are. Here's to more adventures in the future.. wherever You will us to go next. :)
So.. here it is. Enjoy. Do like/share/catch the whole series/subscribe to The User Guide Films today!
