As I sit here in the prayer room in the midst of other brothers, sisters, and the Holy Spirit, I suddenly had the confirmation to pursue this 365 project.
Inspired from my good friend Annie Hall and her photo a day 365 I first was inspired to pursue a 365 a couple weeks ago while praying and waiting on the Lord in this prayer room. I knew that I wouldn't be able to do a photography 365 (since I'm not a photographer), I started to pray about what I could do for 365 days. And after much prayer and deliberation, after talking to fellow brothers and sisters, and finally receiving the long awaited confirmation from the Lord through the prayer "do not fear, because fear will only hold you down." And so I know that it is time for me to put my thoughts and words into action. Recently I've come to realize that the words that come out of my mouth aren't always the most glorifying of the Lord. I can be pretty flirtatious many times, I can say mean jokes (that I don't really mean), I can use my tongue unglorifyingly. And recently I made a commitment to being more encouraging and less flirtatious in my speech and my action. My 365 has similar intent, except instead of me just being encouraging whenever I am around people, I will encourage people even when I am not around them.
For the next 365 days I will send an e-mail a day to encourage someone. Simple as that, yet, it's such an intense realization that in 365 days I might possibly be looking at 365 e-mails conversations a day with fellow brothers and sisters. An intense, but surprisingly satisfying thought that hopefully through one of these e-mails I will be able to bless at least one person.
April 14th, the first day of my 365. Please keep me accountable, keep me in your prayers that this would be a commitment that I will hold and fight for. And keep a look out in your mailbox for an e-mail!
for the Kingdom.
:) you are inspiring
