A word on weird.
Posted by Rod Hamilton on Apr 09 2008
Have you ever wondered about some of the odd things that you do? You know, the things that make you uniquely weird or goofy or maybe even make you feel a little like you just don’t fit in?
I’m here to tell you that some of the very things that we might want to rid ourselves of are some the the very things God has given us to set us apart, to enhance our personal ministries to others and to make us acceptable in certain circles while keeping us outcasts in others. Whatever your quirk (mullets don’t count, that’s a choice!), talk to God about why you are the way you are. You just might find out that He wants it that way and the oddest thing about you may ultimately bring glory to Him. After all, what you are is no surprise to God.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart” Jeremiah 1:5 NIV

Wow, that concept speaks volumes to me. When you come from an incredibly quirky/odd/boisterous family you don’t seem to fit in too well with “outsiders”. No not “Pony Boy” or “Soda Pop”. Though that was a good movie. “Do it for Johny!” Where was I?
It has taken years for me to be pseudo-OK with the way God has made me. How amazing is it that He loves us just as we are? He knows all of the things I will go through and will be there with me through it all even when I screw things up over and over again. He is so amazing!
