Words of Power

I often feel like I'm an observer and not really necessary to the events going on around me. I often feel invisible and that what I contribute isn't important.

I can see now see this more clearly and believe that this is a lie. I think that this false belief comes from several sources:
  • It's learned behavior, one of my nicknames is "stealth".
  • I am a person of color and there is such a thing as institutional racism.
  • I'm selfish and being engaged can get messy.
  • I've been given words of power to speak in the lives of others and have an enemy that would rather have me to remain silent.
Any combination of the above - or something else.

Two "meaningful coincidences" have happened recently:
1. I've been in a position to share godly wisdom with other men and I've been exhorted to speak up repeatedly.

2. I've been working with cybersecurity interns and it was very impactful. I can see a new value in my vocation and experience.

This week I dreamt of a book of Afrofuturism (If you saw the Black Panther movie, imagine that Wakanda was a real place). That too felt like a "meaningful coincidence" and it came clearer into focus. I want to be seen and known and it's going to take work and strength.

I've been challenged to speak up. Please pray that I will continue to be given words of power to speak into the lives of others and that I will speak them.
