Shhh it's a secret....

A few weeks ago Pastor Furtick taught on a HARD hitting subject about hidden issues. It hit me so hard that I have been trying to deal with my hidden issues since. It's been not so great. This morning I saw a post on facebook that made me focus on something else. Hidden Talent.

Everyone has them. Thing they can do well that they just..... well don't do or we just do but seem to think we aren't that great at it. God places these secret things within us and we tend to not showcase them. Or not take into consideration that they could be so much more than what we are allowing them to be.

Back to time suck facebook. How many times have you gone to a restaurant and taken a picture of your food for social media before you ate it? Or maybe your own cooking? Okay Me. Yeah, I do it a lot. When I cook something that I've never done before or gone full out Betty Crocker, I document it. A friend of mine puts up CONSTANT photos of plates of food. They look like something straight out of a restaurant or off the "I wish I could cook like this" category of pinterest. Just scrolling through her feed makes me hungry.

I mentioned to her this morning that she should become a chef. This whole situation reminds me of another friend who encouraged one of her co-workers to change positions in their workplace to better themselves. Her co-worker didn't think that he could do it, however she kept encouraging him to pursue it. He did, and is doing fantastic, It only takes a small push to start a chain reaction of events.

Some people, like myself, are so hard headed that one compliment just rolls off their back. For me, it's YEARS of compliments that still don't have any effect on me. My senior year I was voted most likely to win American Idol, BUT hated school so much I refused to have my picture taken because I didn't want to be documented of even being there. So, I wasn't in it. I don't even think I'm in it at all, seriously. I don't even own my senior year yearbook. But to many peoples surprise, when I go back to my middle or high school I have the worst feeling of how much time I wasted.

The point being this, there is something inside you that you are either pushing to the side or completely ignoring. You may even be brushing it off as though it were no big deal. Maybe, just maybe, that hidden gift is part of your calling. Take that to consideration at some point today. Maybe something you have kept secret for so long is part of what God is getting ready to bring out of you in this new season of your life.

What's your SECRET HIDDEN TALENT?!?!
