Confession – I’m a little bit crazy; perhaps unreasonable; and anything but normal! You may have already caught on to that, but just in case you missed it I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. I used to fight that about myself. Why did I always have to be the kid that dreamed the things no one else dreamed of? And why did I always think they were actually possible? Couldn't I just live a quiet little life that went under the radar?!
And then I realized something...
My peculiarity was birthed out of the desire for redemption. And I believe all of us are created with it – to restore the broken, embrace the forgotten, and rescue the lost. Isn't that the story of redemption? The challenge is that we are all way too afraid to actually anything about it. We forget we have the all-powerful, all knowing, all-figured-out God who placed that desire in us to begin with!
You know that itch that you have in the corner of your heart? That part of you that wants to ask questions, start something new, or do something different? Stop fighting it! Every time you "shhh!" that part of your heart, it's God that you are silencing. And he desires to use that itch to do something BIG for His kingdom sake!
So get a little bit crazy; perhaps unreasonable, and be anything but normal!
