EDIT 2, July 9: I think i'm finally ready to do this. especially for the sake of my india team and the people i'll serve alongside in cambodia. they deserve nothing but life and encouragement.
EDIT, June 4: day one and i'm ready to give up. i have no control. i can't even remember to commit to this.

my friend recently posted this verse:
i once wrote a song that said 'i'm your mouth'. and it felt so weird to write it, but then it felt so exactly what i wanted to say. i want to be your mouth. apparently, deep inside my mind is all the bible stuff that i've ever read haha. it makes sense though: "gather the pieces that are left over, let nothing be wasted" john 6:12
i thought back to my heart at this time. i wondered: "what would it be like to speak only what you wanted me to speak? to speak literally as your mouth and to represent you always with my words?"
this verse had taken root in my heart for a while:
if anyone speaks, they should do so as one speaking the very words of God. 1 peter 4:11

i'm ready to be serious with my speech.
yeah, i feel like i'm just jumping on a bandwagon, but it's a good bandwagon to jump on.
i don't want to delete words from my vocabulary, i just want to have my heart changed. i want to be careful. i want to be someone who only speaks life.
so let me utter only what is precious, cause i want to be your mouth.
