After spending all weekend trying to come up with a decent blog post, I think I am just going to go for simple. A simple encouraging post. A post to let all the other people who sometimes feel like there is something wrong with them or that they don't quite fit into the mold they are suppose to, that you are loved.
I forget to ask God for direction in my life. I end up feeling terrible because my life isn't on the same course as all the other people. I get sucked into all the meaningless, pointless goals that make us "good people." In the age of social media and all the other technology it is easy to think you are defined by your number of instagram followers, how many likes your latest Facebook post got, how amazing your boyfriend/girlfriend is, how "on-point" your make-up and hair is in this one selfie or if you own all the top name brand stuff.
Those things are empty, they hold no meaning. I love social media as much as the next teenager, but I am tired of being brainwashed to think I am nothing if I don't match up to the "perfect person" image. I am tired of these man made expectations that are pointless. Instead of feeling like a loser because you don't fit the status quo, remember who you are an amazing person, with unique personality unlike any other. At the risk of sound cliche there is no other you like you!
When you are living for God, He makes you into something so much more than you ever were before. The person you become is remarkable and the things you can do are incredible. With God the possibilities for your life are endless and I am constantly amazed by how he chooses to use little old me.
Here are a few of my closing thoughts I am not of this world, I am a Princess in the Kingdom of God. Set apart for his purpose and his design. There is nothing wrong with me that he can't fix. I am to be like him, not the perfect girl I have in my head. My plans are not mine I need to commit them to the Lord. I am put on this beautiful earth to serve the Creator. Not to be the best student and person ever. When you start living everyday for the King and seeking his purpose it is amazing how your view changes.
Imagine if we could change all the "Trending" posts to "Serving the King," "Children of God," or "Heaven Bound." What if hashtags were changed to #imageofGod #hisperfecttiming and so many others. We have this technology to share the thirty second video of your cat dodging raindrops with millions of people all over the world. Why not share the love of God in that same amount of time? Who knows who we might reach.
My final encouragement to you is this.....
You are not defined by a hashtag or a rating. You loved by the King who knows how many stars are in the sky, how many blades of grass on on the earth and he knows what cereal you are going to eat for breakfast in the morning. You are never a loser.
