Each and every person on this earth is made extraordinary.
You are special, and created for a specific purpose. A purpose that will only be revealed through God.
You are extraordinary. You have your own unique flair to life. You have your opinions, but maybe you're too scared to voice them. You have your thoughts and emotions, but maybe you're too scared to express them...
Maybe you have been the 'good girl' all your life. You want to try your hardest to please others.
Sometimes, when you try to please others, your unique flair settles for less. You bury your talents in the world. You are scared to be different. To voice yourself.
Maybe you have buried your extraordinary and settled for something ordinary.
I understand. That is me.
The world doesn't welcome different. The world hates change and tries to destroy it. The world doesn't like unique people, because that usually means change.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, that is the biggest change anyone could ever experience. You go from being 'dead' to being 'alive' in Christ.
That is the best change you will ever experience, but at the same time, maybe the worst.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ and what he did for you, so many other things tie in. Now, instead feeling lost and hopeless, you have a purpose. You want to know what your purpose is. You know it's out there. Somewhere.
You just need to depend on God for the answers.
God loves you. He is the one who made you extraordinary. He is the one who knows everything about you. He is loving Father who will never turn you away. His arms are always open for you.
God is perfect. You aren't perfect. You never will be. So how can you meet God's standards? Reality is, you can't. God's standards are perfect and you won't be perfect. Ever. But, God loves you. He wanted to give you the chance to accept him.
That's why he sent his own son, Jesus Christ, to die for YOU on the cross.
You just need to accept God's gift of eternal life willingly. Accept that Jesus DID die for you and that God does love you.

When we turn our extraordinary selves into just more ordinary people because of the world, we are turning away what God has for us. We bury ourselves and pretend we are someone else.
So our extraordinary turns into something ordinary. Do you want to know something? God loves EXTRAORDINARY. He loves you, for you. He doesn't want you to be someone you aren't. He made you for a purpose. A purpose that will only be revealed if you trust in Him and him alone.
Don't worry about what others think. Stop trying to please the world. You will never be able to please everyone.
A friend once told me, "The need isn't always the call."
Meaning, just because someone wants you to do something, it might not be your job to do it. It's okay to say no.
One of the most amazing things about learning to follow God, is you can't hide anything from him.
God has a sense of humor that funny, but might seem annoying too...
God will more than likely use your greatest fears and weaknesses to show you who he really is.
Mine is public speaking. I don't like doing it. I avoid as much as is humanly possible. I am realizing now, that God is probably going to use that greatest fear of public speaking and show me more of who he really is.
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:13
In other words, God LOVES it when we depend on him, because then he will show us how much we are capable of.
In our weakness, he is strong.
Our extraordinary cannot fit in the box of ordinary that we try to cram in. So instead we just leave it alone. Toss it aside. Forget.
Don't do that! You aren't supposed to be on this earth just to please others. You are supposed to please God! You are supposed to follow his instructions and trust him for guidance. Does that mean you can't please others?
No, it doesn't.
You just need to realize that God is in control and that he is the one you should focus more on pleasing. With God, just be your extraordinary!
Dare to live differently and just be you. Extraordinary, creative, you. Stop trying to hide yourself. Just because the world might not like you, doesn't mean you should shut you out and be someone else. God is the one who matters. He loves you for being the person he made you. All your quirks, included!
Dare to live a different life than the rest of the world.
Dare to take a step into the unknown extraordinary life God has for you.
You are special, and created for a specific purpose. A purpose that will only be revealed through God.
