This is for all the writers aspiring
or otherwise and the public speakers everywhere.
Every time
we log onto our social media and post we are engaging in the art of public
speaking. Whether it’s a simple “like” or a lengthy thought it’s all part of the
language of social media. We are
constantly speaking volumes publicly whether we consciously know it or not.
About ten
years ago I began writing my first book Path of the Blessing: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Then with the encouragement from a friend of
mine who is an editor I began blogging.
Those early
beginning stages of writing were so scary.
When a woman
first finds out that she’s pregnant and she’ll be delivering in nine months
those first few weeks are full of excitement, anticipation, fear, and
unknown. That’s exactly how I felt at the beginning when writing.

Most of all
I’ve wondered if anyone will be listening. HELLO? Is anyone there?

As the years
have gone on and my baby has been born onto Amazon.com I’ve been finding ways
to share my baby with the public.
Blogger, a Facebook Page, and now more recently Twitter and Instagram have been new ways to display and talk about my baby.
I know I can’t
be the only one feeling this way, and you know what? I’m not.
Jeremiah felt the SAME way!
In Jeremiah
chapter 1 verses 5 through 9 God calls to Jeremiah. He told Jeremiah that he had a plan for his
life and that plan included public speaking.
Jeremiah’s
response was one that I can relate to:
“I
do not know how to speak; I am too young”
Jeremiah is
feeling all those feelings of excitement, anticipation, fear, and unknown. Then the Lord says to Jeremiah not to be
afraid because he will rescue him and give him the words to say.
AHH! So
there it is…One of the pertinent KEYS to speaking social media.
Invite God into
our words before we write, “like”, and post and he will give us the words to
say; speaking social media.

I think you have hit the key to having the words to say in our writing. It's this: "Invite God into our words before we write, “like”, and post and he will give us the words to say; speaking social media." In my blogging and other social media I want to share encouragement and point others to God. I don't always remember to pray first, but I think it is a good plan.
