We All Need
an Editor
This is a
shout out, a thank you, a stand up and take a bow kind of post. You all know those people! They are the ones that do so much and rarely
(if ever) ask for anything in return.
They are just …. amazing! They
are our editors! What is an editor? It
is someone that reviews your work, tells you what they like, what they don’t
like and what you should change and rearrange.
Think about it for a minute. Who
is your life editor? Do you think you
need an editor?
I know God,
our creator, as my Editor in Chief. He
is the top dog that has final say in my decisions, my actions and my life. Seriously, that is a non-negotiable in my
life. I know the one that created me,
formed me, and gave me all my crazy antics that my wonderful husband has to
deal with all the time. Ephesians 2:10
says - For we are God's handiwork, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. This is a reminder that I do have a purpose
and I am designed to use the gifts and skills God has given me.
So,
with that in mind, let’s consider the editor. Who is the person that helps mine out the
hidden gems in your life? Who is the
person that you bounce ideas off of and get creative with? Who is the person that inspires you to become
a better version of you, working on the skills and passions God has given
you? So many times we are so consumed
with all our flaws and faults that we walk away from the editor(s) God has
given us. When someone starts to mine
out those gems, the discomfort of the process puts us on the run and we just
want to get out of town, so to speak.
I
want to thank all the editors in my life.
Those that remind me to do better, do be better and to pursue better
every day. We are the handiwork of God,
created to do good works. Thank you to
those that remind me to pursue God with passion and do life with excellence.
What
works are you doing that produces good?
Maybe it is buying coffee for a friend, maybe it is being the one that
reads a blog and says “hey this is good” or “hey this needs some work” (THANK
YOU JADA!!). Whatever that good is that
you are doing, do it with passion and excellence because you have skills. MAD SKILLS!
