It's More Fun to Inspire, Impact and Influence

**This is part of my 30-day blog challenge

I pulled this picture from one of the blogs I'm recently lurking and and as I read some of her posts, it confirmed to my heart that this is what I really wanna do, not just to write but to impact, influence and inspire people. I'm really not a good writer, as some of you might noticed it already. Words doesn't just flow swiftly and easily and I even find myself stuggling in expressing my heart and my mind.. But I guess, it doesn't hurt if someday, God will tell me that I'm not designed as a blogger. I'm ready to hear that anytime. But here's one thing I'm sure of, I'm called to impact, influence and inspire people. Get that? :)

Here are some of the contents of Shad's post where she express her grattitude to Riz (her fellow blogger who impact her life without Riz knowing it):

"Aside from God’s word and plans for me, and my parents’ and friends’ support and confidence in me, it was Riz’ words that I’ve held on through several phases in my life as a writer: a blogger, a web/SEO-centric writer, and now an editor."

"Sooo… thank you, Riz, for chasing God’s dreams for your life throughout the years. You’ve been making a difference in my life since that day I talked about ^. I mean, even my career path now has somehow been influenced by you. You deserve a chapter in my autobiography, hehe."

How was that? Imagine yourself influencing people even those you do not know or haven't even met hearing reading those very very kind words from them. I imagine Riz with her huge smile and flattered heart more inspired to do things that could inspire and impact and influence people..

Upon writing this, there's a song that came to my mind.. And as i went through the lyrics, it made me cry, because this is what I wanna be like.. I wanna share what I have to inluence people for God.

Thank You for Giving To The Lord
Music & Lyrics by Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to Heaven, you were there with me.
We walked upon the streets of gold beside the Crystal Sea.
We heard the angels singing, then someone called your name.
You turned and saw this young man, and he was smiling as he came.
He said, "Friend you may not know me now," and then he said, "But wait -
You used to teach my Sunday School, when I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."


Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
Then another man stood before you, he said "Remember the time,
A missionary came to your church, His pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money but you gave it anyway.
Jesus took that gift you gave
And that's why I'm in Heaven today"


Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
One by one they came, far as your eyes could see.
Each life somehow touched by your generosity.
Little things that you had done, sacrifices that you made,
They were unnoticed on this earth
In Heaven now proclaimed.


Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
And I know up in Heaven you're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand and you stood before the Lord
He said "My child look around you,
Great is your reward."


Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave,
I am so glad you gave
