Transform

Theatre Curtain - with the words "we change in the light" overlaid upon it.

I’ve never been very comfortable out in public. Small talk terrifies me, and I usually can’t get beyond, “So, what are you up to?” before I run out of things to say. This is probably why acting appealed to me when I was younger. The spotlights would go on, the curtain would open, and for a few blessed hours I could be somebody else. Someone who, hopefully, was much more socially competent than me.

When I was called by Christ a spotlight more powerful than any I encountered on stage illuminated my entire being. I discovered many things about myself I didn’t like, and many more I that I found I needed to embrace. When the “curtain” went up on my discipleship journey I began a journey of transformation.

The longer the light stays on me, the more I am transformed into someone new.

May the curtain always stay up, and the light of Christ on my soul.

    Is that because you are used to read,,hear, and speak higher level of thinking more frequently and not much ” social” stuff?

      I wouldn’t complement myself that way. I WOULD say I’m more comfortable in my head
      than outside it
