I had been sitting on this one for some time now. When I left work tonite, more than 12 hrs after I got there, I had the thought that I should be over burdened with the task that is at hand. There I was at work, with a due date and me in the kind of physical pain that made sitting, standing, and walking all a bear.
So as I sat on the Metro on the way home, thinking about my plan for the next day, I gathered the right mind to open up Devotionals and get caught up with the devotionals that I have been neglecting.
There it was in my face and plain and simple. The man named Mordecai used what he had to make sure that the people of God were not forgotten, and also used his place in the court to elevate God's people (Esther 10:3). I read that and felt like I was and am not doing all that I should be. No, not concerning MMM (even though the room for improvement here could house a few elephants); but in my day job and day to day dealings. Was I really taking advantage of the places and opportunities that God has given me to show His people His glory? It left me thinking.
As it was, I did not have any news downloaded, and so I read Tuesday morning's devotional as well. That one pointed to the truthfulness of Gaius and how the truth was in him and he was known to be truthful. In the unpacking of the various parts of my heart towards making technology known to people, and showing God's hands in the mist of this, I was forced to ask myself if people could testify that the truth of God was in me and that I am living out of the truth of God.
Needless to say, it is a bit after 130am and I am still thinking about this. Sure, there is much in terms of tech news that I want to talk about. And maybe I will get to it. But right now, before I make my sleep and rest this sore body, I have to ask myself if whether I am in the right place to be an evangelist of God with tech, or if I am just a tinkling brass making only white noise to get people by.

It is the struggle that defines us. The journey that makes the goal. I don't think any of us ask ourselves these types of questions enough. The danger of these instances does not lie with the questions of character that it will naturally unveil. It is in the halting of all things because we somehow don't feel worthy to continue. I salute you Antoine and pass you the proverbial glass of gatorade. Thanks for your heart.
