Is this what it means to change someone’s life?

For sixteen months, I have been making YouTube videos. It has been a lot of trial and error trying to find content and to satisfy all my viewers. I am always a little lost when making videos. What should my topic be? Is this information too personal? Will this information offend someone? Sometimes I receive messages to let me know I am on the right path, but for the most part, I am alone on my own.

Sporadically, I would receive a message from someone. A question would be asked and then the communication would end. But recently, there has been a tremendous upswing in correspondence. There are emails; Facebook, MeWe and YouTube messages. I find myself struggling to keep up. Many of the messages are heart-wrenching. They are filled with fear and trepidation. I do my best to give the person hope and pray the person finds a way to handle all their emotions.

Recently, a person noted how happy I seemed in my videos. The person had a father who got a tracheostomy and was soon to be released home. The person hoped the father would also find the happiness I had. As I read the message, I nearly broke down in tears. I always hoped my videos would be viewed as being upbeat and positive. Reading this person’s words reassured me I was on the right track.

Another person contacted me because she was doing a speech for a class. She choose me and my YouTube channel. I was dumb-founded that anyone would want to give a presentation about me. Wow! I feel a little star-struck. I also am deeply moved that so many people seemed to have been affected by my YouTube channel. After spending many years confined to my home, it is such a blessing and praise to God that He has decided to use me at this time in my life. When I thought my life was over, God has decided my life has just begun again. Who could have imagined this? Who could imagine I could change someone’s life living my life on a ventilator? Praise be to God!
