We are Building a City – Weekends in the Word

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:14

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

It always amazes me when people recognize me in public.  I’m just some homeschool mom who writes some blog.

Nobody really.

But every time someone says they read the blog or they appreciate my candidness or they enjoy coming here, I remember that this is my city.

As I raise my little arrows, I am building a city.

When my husband goes to the office, he is building a city.

When we all go out in public to get groceries, we are all building a city.

And we cannot be hidden.

Our family is not perfect.  Never will be.  In fact, we are a bunch of nobodies.  But with Christ, we are a city.  A city that shines no matter where we are because of Christ.

As harried mothers, we sometimes wonder where our calling is, where our mission field is, how we can do more to further the kingdom and totally miss the fact that we are already building a city and when we shine, we shine Christ’s love in the darkest recesses of the world.

Whatever hill you are on, whatever city you are building {that Jesus is building through you}, you cannot help but shine.  For if Christ is truly in you, there is no hiding that, no snuffing that out.

So, thank you for visiting this city.  I pray Christ always shines here.

Weekends in the Word is a ministry of Raising Arrows meant to offer a time of worship and encouragement specifically for those mommies who find themselves, due to circumstances beyond their control, unable to attend worship services with other believers. However, all are welcome here each weekend to feast on His Word.
