Lately I have been noticing how much of a lack of substance we have in the world we live in today. I mean think about it…. If you open up any social media platform, gossip, they are all saturated with either people bashing people, insta-models, staged photos, flashy show-offs, etc. It is all meaningless. Everyone seems to be on the same accord: rise to fame as soon as possible. Every post you see seems to be to sell something to you or pitch something to you in some way. Kids are raising kids, kids are killing kids for absurd reasons, families are rarely together at the same time, social media is making us less social (in the real world), and all of this for what?
My heart cries out for the world we live in today. We need a change. But where would we start? What could we do? I’ve been asking that question a lot lately and have intensified my prayer life to find the answers. These questions have caused me to question what is really important to me in the world? What have I been doing to contribute to this nonsense? What can I do to purge the nonsense out of my life and my household? How can I help someone else change? You should ask yourself these questions too. It will definitely help to start the change we need (it starts on our minds: see it, believe it, achieve it). It starts with us. We have to BE the change we wish to see in the world.
I thought I had my life all figured out and what my next move was going to be. If you read my previous post about how my year started off with a bang, just know that I am currently in a whole new headspace. It is something about when you surrender to God. He always has completely different plans than you had (I will write a post on my journey update in order to keep this post on topic).
I am feeling led to step out, speak out, and let my voice be heard on the changes that our community needs. I am also an introvert and have no idea what this means for me (smh)!!! The fact remains that I can’t just not do anything at all. I charge you to pray for our community and do something (even if it’s small) that will make a difference to someone. Take your sibling to the park and just talk, call your mom and tell her how much you love her, start an outreach, do whatever you heart is leading you to do. Just don’t wait, tomorrow is not promised to us all.
