Have you ever asked yourself this question: What kind of influence do I have in the world I live in? We might not ever really think about it but we are being watched by those around us. Kind of sounds like a Twilight Zone movie. haha! I love what I Peter 2:11 says - it basically comes down to this: We are aliens in this world - we are in the world, but are not of it. For starters, it gives me the perfect excuse to not be normal, which I never have been. haha! So, I claim it as my verse for my reasoning why I am the nut that I am. I was never meant to be 'like' this world - my influence is not and does not come from this world - but it comes from God - so that gives me every reason to be different and not look like all those around me. I'm putting out the challenge to you to begin to realize that all of us are people of influence - we have the power to show Jesus in our everyday lives and we have the power to show the world Jesus by our responses and actions. The choice is up to you! What do you want? Be yourself - and go for it!
I choose to become a person of influence; A person that freaks the devil out because I choose to not be normal but to live a life that shows Jesus in all I do - okay, stop!! - I just have to have a moment and let you know I'm not talking about a perfect life, never having a drama moment, or wishing my children would give my ears a moments rest from the constant question, "Mom, what are we going to do today? Mom, why are you making that?" haha! No, I'm not perfect, but in all my imperfections, God still finds me beautiful and I remain firm in knowing that I am a person of influence.
Smiles,
Tracee, the nut
