AUGUST
August was filled with family milestones, meaningful rest, renewed inspiration, and new beginnings. Between the first day of school, a Cubs game, a track meet, and preparations for creating content, I was reminded of how faithfully God works through both ordinary and extraordinary moments.
The month was not without its concerns. I worried about finances, struggled with the effects of returning to in-person work for a full year, and questioned whether I was prepared to pursue certain spiritual goals. Still, the Lord continued to provide encouragement, rest, and opportunities for growth.
This month had a lot of special moments with family. Honestly, it was fulfilling, although they are not “christian” it was a good time.
My family took me to a Cubs game and although the beginning felt a little slow, the game got really exciting! The Cubs went from being last but on the last inning, Alex Bregman helped keep them in game, it was awesome haha. Cubs eventually won 3-2 after a home run brought in two runs.
Later in the month I was able to experience another First Day of School again. I love these moments and I cannot express how much I want to attend these and get a prayer in to start the school year right! I am grate to see the growth and experience important moments alongside them.
Shortly after, we went to the first track meet of the year. It was great to see my family together and participating in a sport. I felt deeply proud of the effort into the competitive nature of sportsmanship. Of course after, we got to get some food in. Chick-Fil-A, a game of Uno, and then ended the night with computer gaming. Simple but memorable day filled with love and togetherness.
These experiences reminded me to value the time God gives me with my family. Life moves quickly, and every school year, sporting event, meal, and shared game becomes part of our family’s story. I am continuing to practice the idea of remaining present and thank the Lord for allowing me to witness their growth.
Because the month was busy, especially with the first day of school and other family responsibilities. I also carried financial concerns and struggled with the loss of remote work last year. Commuting and spending less time at home have negatively affected parts of my life.
At times, unemployment and relying on a business can sound appealing because of the freedom and quietness it can bring. Nevertheless, I genuinely love my job and recognize that God provided it for me. I trust that He has a purpose for this season, even when balancing work, family, and personal goals feels difficult.
Spending time with my family strengthened our relationships and reminded me that community begins at home. Supporting one another at school events, athletic competitions, and family outings creates memories and encourages everyone to keep growing.
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
“Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
August also marked the beginning of a renewed creative and spiritual mission. I started my new primary social media account, @bvrrvibvrrv, with the intention of creating content and proclaiming God’s Torah to the world.
On August 16, I felt a kind of inspiration I had not experienced since 2016 when I started my initial business. This time, however, I am relying on God to guide me toward success. I began organizing my notes, developing structures for my ideas, and preparing to take the next step. Having “adult money” now gives me the ability to invest in equipment and take thoughtful risks.
The Lord had continued to provide what I needed. My next goal was to purchase microphones and find or replace my tripod. Visited Micro Center and Best Buy and purchased a DJI Mic 3 to begin recording, along with a new keyboard and headset. The new keyboard is awesome and the new headset is great, using it for work and personal. BUT I found out that bluetooth always lowers sound frequency, you can’t use bluetooth as headphones and a headset, that’s crazy right?
I had started posting across several accounts. The process has been enjoyable, and my prayer is that everything I create will glorify God and Christ Jesus, our King.
This renewed inspiration taught me that preparation and faith must work together. I want God to direct my efforts rather than relying only on personal ambition. Organizing my thoughts, investing in the right tools, and beginning to publish content were practical steps toward answering the calling I believe God has placed on my life.
Financial concerns created another challenge. Purchasing equipment while worrying about the month’s expenses required discernment. Rather than rushing forward carelessly, I began taking deliberate steps and trusting God to provide wisdom for each decision.
My content has the potential to reach people beyond my immediate circle. Through social media, I hope to share biblical truth, proclaim God’s Torah, and encourage others in their faith. This mission is not simply about building accounts; it is about serving people and pointing them toward the Lord.
August was a month of movement. I watched my family grow, enjoyed moments of rest and fellowship, and rediscovered a creative inspiration that had been quiet for nearly ten years. I also faced concerns about money, work, preparation, and obedience.
Through it all, God reminded me that growth happens one faithful step at a time. He has provided employment, family, inspiration, equipment, and opportunities to begin sharing my message.
In the coming months, I look forward to recording more content, developing a consistent social media strategy, and becoming better prepared to proclaim God’s Word. My desire is that every post, recording, and public message will honor God rather than myself.
