I was on my phone editing a blog the other day, and I caught myself doing what I always do, screenshotting.

And I don’t mean just one or two. I’m talking 20 screenshots, easy, just to get through a single blog post.

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you already know, 

In 2021, the optometrist declared me legally blind due to a specific eye condition.

The day I got the diagnosis, it honestly didn’t bother me that much.

Don’t ask me why.

But some days after that?

It hit hard.

Real hard.

It takes time to mentally recover and get back in the creative flow when life hands you something that heavy.

The glasses I wear don’t really correct my vision.

But they allow me to zoom in 10x with my left eye, just enough to help me edit, write, and create on my phone.

If I’m honest, sometimes it’s discouraging.

But every morning, I remind myself that God has given me the grace to keep going.

It’s the same kind of discipline I talked about in my last blog:

“Dangerously Disciplined: Why the Best Growth Happens Underground.”

That kind of quiet, personal focus is what gets me up in the morning.

I get up and read, well, you know, that’s Audible for me with the eye condition and all.

Whatever stirs me up, I write about it.

I don’t believe inspiration should be wasted.

If it’s a good thought, I’m going to write it down.

Talk about it on social media.

Share it in a blog.

Because there’s so much foolishness out there, and if we’ve got something positive to add to the world, we should.

Okay, I’m rambling a little now, but I’m just realizing:

I literally live by a screenshot.

And still, I’m thankful.

Thankful I get to do anything that encourages someone else.

I don’t know what your ailment is.

I don’t know what you’re battling today.

But I hope this blog finds you in the middle of it, and reminds you that you’re still called.

Still created for something.

I write these blogs in faith.

I write to encourage someone, maybe you, to push forward, even when it’s hard.

To do the thing God created you to do.

To become everything He designed you to be.

We will never be perfect.

That’s not the goal.

The goal is consistent effort.

The goal is to bear fruit.

I don’t know exactly what Paul’s ailment was, but it’s clear he was dealing with something.

And yet, he kept pressing.

He became everything God called him to be.

My ailment is my eyes.

I live by a screenshot.

But by the grace of God, I will do everything He’s called me to do.
