New believer

New believer. We meet for encouragement and discipleship. 

This young woman lives behind walls in her country. No access to community. Seeing only immediate family members.

She came to know Christ while practicing English via video call with a sister in our local church. 

Now we connect online. According to internet strength. 

And if her electricity is on that week.

Blindspots

Once a year, I see it. 

Visual of my blindspots.

Patterns of grey and black mapped out on a screen in the ophthalmologist’s office. 

In life, blindspots can creep in. And continue. Unnoticed. Never addressed. 

Endangering vision and obedience.

Communicate

Notes in the margin of my Bible. Next to Psalm 40:8-10. And words penned carefully on a back page. 

Detailing an impression of His instruction. 

“A calling to speak, proclaim, communicate, write. About Your righteousness, faithfulness, salvation, love, truth.” 

Later, I express it in a succinct mission statement.

“To communicate Your glory in spoken or written word.”
