Five Minute Friday: Risk

Jun 22, 2012

Risk. I don’t like this word much. (Does anyone?) I’m NOT a risk taker usually. I usually stick to things I know I can succeed in or where someone has specifically sought me out instead of me sticking my neck out.

Thus this blog is against my very nature. It’s a risk. Will anyone read it?! Will they like what they read? Will it all just flop? I don’t know, and that risk scares me. But God clearly said, “Go,” so here I am. Sticking my neck out everyday and praying it makes a difference. Praying that whomever needs this particular post finds it. Even if it is only one person.

Many would be nice, but one person matter a lot, too. I know when I find that perfect post that just speaks to me, it changes my day. Then those words effect my relationships with my kids that day, my husband, and anyone else I run into. They often reflect back into posts I write here. I may not quote them, but their finger prints are there.

So if what I write when I risk speaks only to one person, then it is enough…

Ready to pray for your kids?

It can be so hard to find time to pray for your kids. Why not start in the regular time slots you already have built into your day? Slots like the car line, sports practices, drama events, band competitions…

We spend so much time waiting for our kids. Let’s start to spend that time intentionally praying for them!

    Well said! It’s risky, ya know?!! Connecting with others in an effort to shine Jesus. Keep shining…I have no doubt that someone will be led to you and catch a little glimmer in Jesus at the same time.
