Lately, a thought has been weighing on my heart, and it can be summed up in two simple words: Use me. In every situation and every moment, my prayer is that God would use me to reflect His light and point others toward Christ. Whether through my writing, my interactions with others, or in the quiet, unseen parts of my life, my hope is that He’s always at work in my heart, preparing me to further the gospel. Sometimes, that doesn’t mean openly sharing my faith; it might just be through small acts of kindness—being a compassionate friend, offering a smile when I don’t feel like it, or speaking with grace and patience. The good news often spreads in the smallest, everyday moments.
Dear reader my hope is that you, too, would be striving to live a life honoring Christ; and that your daily life would reflect your love for Christ and the joy you find in Him. You don’t need to be in the perfect set of circumstances, and that’s the beauty of the gospel—young or old, extroverted, introverted, it’s something we can all share with others, and sometimes all it takes is having the mindset of “Use Me.”

Brooklyn, you are a deep well. So happy, in fact I am joyous, that you and Zane found each other; all in the plan of God.
It’s a brave thing to say “Use Me” because you are telling God that you are willing to be used no matter what, in good times and bad times and in doing so you will continue to shine for Christ through it all…that’s a deep and beautiful commitment and one that every believer should be willing to commit to. He will use each of His children differently for His purpose and when we say “Use Me” we are truly saying I AM Yours and Your Will Lord, be done in my life will open up all possibilities that will grow us more in His image and bring honor and glory to Him. God bless you Brookie, I’m so excited to be a part of your journey as I’ve watched you grow from a baby into this beautiful talented young woman with a passion for her savior ❤️
