platforms

last sunday morning i stepped up onto a platform and spoke some of my words and wonder aloud.  

it wasn't my usual sunday morning audience of 1st-5th graders.  
it wasn't my comfort zone, but...
i was able to step up and speak with confidence because of some important truths i have been learning.  

{and these words from jon acuff that miraculously popped up via instagram a couple of days before i spoke definitely helped}

God didn't give you a platform so you could hide your story.  
Shine Bright.  
We've got enough night lights.  
We need lighthouses.

for more on this story check out my post over at the new charlotte blog today.

I think it's wonderful your stage is growing. You are stepping up with humility and dignity and awesomeness. :) Lately, I've been going through my own process, one of stripping down so I can grow. It's an interesting juxtaposition, and it feels right.
