Don’t Share

I am building something BIG. It’s so big, it scares me. Sometimes I wonder, why me? Sometimes I am so cared, I want to just pack it all up and go back to familiar land. But, no, I must keep building.

Recently my husband said to me, ‘please don’t share this yet with your friends. It is not ready yet, keep cooking’. Now that was a challenge for me because I am used to sharing whatever I am doing including that which I am just thinking about. But I completely understood what he was saying. In a generation where sharing is arguably the only way to show people that you are working, or that something is true, it is hard not to share.

But, not this time. This baby will be properly hidden. Now I understand what Mary had to go through. When the Holy Spirit impregnates you with a God idea, that’s not the time to do an Instagram live or Facebook post to announce this. It is never worth the gender reveal party regardless of the pressure you may be under. You must keep it hidden until the appointed time, when it is fully ready just like Mary so that at that time, it cannot be destroyed.
