Microphone Check

We are always being tested. Some years, some seasons more than others. What will be tested this year? Confidence and courage. Resilience. These things come to mind. I am not thrilled about a test of resilience. I think I was thoroughly tested in that area for 18 months. Personally, for me this year is the unveiling of how resilience will be revealed rather than tested. I think maybe, it’s a skill I will use rather than a tool that needs to be forged again. All though some tools need to be sharpened from time to time, I think I am “good” on that.

What do you think will be tested in you this year? It’s okay to not know or not to care at all. I can see my courage and confidence being tested as I live out my desire to care less of what people think about me, my life, my ministry, my gifts. I never liked the thought of having thick skin to live this life. Why? I guess I always thought people should just be kind and mind their own lives. But that is not how life works. Either thick skin is developed or you become too sensitive to thrive or too callous to enjoy life.
