Standing out
So this summer has really got me thinking and excited about life and trying to live a life devoted to God. There are some things that I really want to do next semester that would really be about being a light in dark places and serving others. I've been reminded by my time here that's it's not about being comfortable, it's about standing out. Being a little over six feet, blonde hair and blue eyed makes you stand out where the average person is 5 1/2 feet, maybe 150 lbs (tops), and has dark hair and eyes. I got to thinking how in Abilene and almost anywhere in the US, I blend in. Well what if that wasn't true? What if I stood out but not because of physical features? What if the reason I stood out in a crowd was because I served Christ and followed him, and in serving Christ to serve others? My dream is to be someone who God uses to help others wether that be bringing peace to war torn lands in the Mid East or central Africa, or at the least being an example of a what a different life can look like.
