Friends—er, maybe eFriends. No, how about CyberCompanions? Wait, let’s go with Online Homies. Nah, this is getting lame. I’ll just keep it real and say, Amigos! [You know, because I was just in Mexico and all.] It’s good to be back, but I have to admit that it’s been a bit crazy.
I wanted to blog about suffering [and I will], but traveling the past two days while trying to finish preparing for a women’s retreat this weekend has kept me busy. I’m sharing with y’all a video from an online leadership conference I was involved with a few weeks ago.
The premise was to take six minutes and address a message for the next generation of leaders. The thoughts are basic and rudimentary, but foundational in leading the way God wants me to.
As always, I like keeping those who visit the blog in the loop, so I’m posting the video here. 🙂 Feel free to chime in and add your own perspective, thoughts, or comments.
I know the real you almost as well as anyone and I STILL think you're awesome.
thanks for sharing, this was so good to hear.
I feel like I should say something, but I have no words other than daaaaamn! That was beautiful and hardhitting – loved it!
Great video Bianca – love it!
How do you look so beautiful in your videos? I go red and blotchy if someone gets within 100 yards of me with a camera!
wow.. i feel completely exposed.. i have to ask.. Is there ANYBODY at church, friends, work, that would truly accept one for who he/she is? I’ve yet to find such person. My husband accepts me for who I am today but to be honest there are tthings about my past I’ve yet to reveal to ANYBODY
Hey Norma, seriously… it has been SO hard for me to be vulernable and yes, there are a lot of things that I have… kept from certain "churched" people because of whatever regret, shame, embarrassment that I feel… but in the past year, I've prayed about sharing, and God's given me chances to share, He's given me that humility to see that it isn't about me and all about Him.
I don't think it is about going out to the rooftops to air your stuff out, but, to use your story for the glory of His kingdom PRAYERFULLY. 🙂
Yes, there are people out there who will accept one for who they really are. 🙂
Hey B, you took the words right out of my mouth, the thoughts right out of my mind, and the emotions right out of my heart; not regarding leadership, but regarding the fear of vunerability and authenticity. Just know that your fears are my fears!
B, your post was awesome! Alot to think about. Alot to chew on! Made me think deep about myself.
DANNG guurrrl. 🙂
I love it when you talk.
Haha!!!
"Fear and shame keep us from vulnerability" AH!!! So true!!
I feel as though the last year, or two, I've been able to be more transparent. It's given me opportunity to be open about my story and to be so broken and humbled and then take it to show WHO GOD IS and HOW HE WORKS.
Shame is an interesting thing, it is what kept me silent for so long, and then fear and embarrassment because I wanted to protect the image of a good Christian woman, and the image of a successful marriage, etc. And then I read Romans 5:1-5, suffering –> endurance, endurance –> character, character —> hope. AND HOPE DOES NOT PUT US TO SHAME.
&& then kicked it back to Romans 1:16– I am not ashamed of the gospel, this gospel of love and redemption, this hope for an eternity of peace is SO BIG compared to the small pang of shame. I realized that the gospel working through my life is not something that I should be ashamed of.
Thanks for the post!! I appreciate it!

My problem isn't vulnerability, its paranoia.
There have been so many times that I wanted to share something about my past or just be genuine and honest about what is going on with me, but I'm one of those people that reads into everything. The look on someone's face as they listen to you, the way they respond, every little tone in their voice, and so often I feel like the only thing they're thinking is "she's so whiney" or "wow, its all about her, she tries to be godly and say it was totally God not her, but it is so her pride". And its ridiculous, but it stops me from sharing. Past experiences got me stuck with this complex of fearing that I seem to make things too emotional, or too prideful, or too selfish, usually when I have no reason to. I would love to say I could just "own" things.
Very good word, Miss Bianca! I'm not even sure my comment is on topic, I just feel led to share today. We all walk with a limp, visible or not. We are masters of disguise. One of the most liberating days of my life was when I accepted the fact that I am not good enough…and I am never going to be..not a good enough daughter, sister, friend, Christian, whatever…but I'm free because I have been set free!
