When Thought Becomes Idea Becomes Conviction 

3/28/2014

0 Comments

 
The passions of my mind and my soul deep desire to change a world, the musings of my heart, the joy and the shock of the smallest things, these are in the swirl and bustle of my day. I feel they must be spoken.
But what am I to do? I am too busy, poor, young..
But then I had an idea. This idea became a thought, one that try as I might, I could not seem to shake. I thought, what if I started a blog?
I immediately felt inadequate. For a girl who still has so much to learn, how could I ever be the one who pours out, rather than the one being poured into?
“Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment,” (Heb. 6:1-2).
Here, in the still small voice that I find in the wind of my life, I discovered conviction. I know for whatever purpose do not yet know in my humanness, my God has put me in 2014, at Capital University, with a lot of opinions, and a heart broken for the injustice of our world for such a time as this. Who am I to not try.
Here, I will share what inspires me, what infuriates me, when I fall, and when I stand. Here, I will make whatever difference I can in the in-between that is college, and here I will learn.
Only with stomach wrenching bravery and strength to be still can I be lionhearted.
