Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio. My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online HERE or download the free app for your smartphone. I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge!
Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk.
Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)
The other day, I received a Facebook
message from a friend from back in our college days. It read “Thank you for encouraging us to use
Dave Ramsey’s debt free plan. We are
debt free and it feels amazing! Only
Jesus gave us extra snow for our snowball!”
She had heard our story of our journey of becoming debt free and it
encouraged her to keep going.
Another message from a different college friend from September read, “Rebekah,
I don’t know if I ever told you how much I appreciated your friendship in
college. I was insecure, which probably
came off as unfriendly. But, I looked up
to you as someone I wanted to be like.
Thank you for your example! You
are one of the reasons I named my oldest daughter Rebekah.”
When we are living our lives day to
day, the normal everyday things we do probably do not seem like a big
deal. I know I don’t go around doing
what I do thinking…”I wonder if this person will remember this 20 years later –
yes, that is how long ago I was a freshman in college! – that I did this for
them?" I would venture to say most of us
don’t even think about that.
Because it the little things that do
really make a big difference. Remember the
lad with the five loaves and two fishes?
That day, I am positive that he did not think when he packed his lunch…”One
day, millions of people will know about this very lunch!” It is not always on the day that we realize
what impact our actions have had. It
could be decades later maybe.
So today’s challenge
is: Don’t get discouraged! Just by being you, you are encouraging someone
somewhere. Go out and make a difference
to someone today!
