Some Wisdom

I have three different books I'm reading right now. I read them in my quiet time. I've been doing a pretty good job reading. I'll admit it's not perfect. I have missed some days, one the weekends, and the one morning I woke up at 7:45 and I walk to the bus at 8:20ish. However, I do catch up when I've missed. Streams in the Desert, this is very good book. It is dated and I started reading in August when I got here and that is where I started. Another one is Women in the bible. It picks a woman from the bible and tells about her. It's only has Monday thru Friday, but I read it everyday. The last is The One Year Book of Hope. It has five days per week, but I read it every day. I'm in week 12. This week is on Miracle. I really thought about skipping that part. I kinda feel like Nancy (the author). I've never seen a miracle. I've never experienced on either. I know that my God has done them. The closet I've been to a miracle is Pastor. When I started the singles group Pastor was in hospital. He had some internal bleeding. He is out now. The bleeding stopped. I don't look at this a miracle, I look at more like a healing.
Nancy said something in her book that supported the way I feel about myself and also hints that I might be in the mist of a miracle. I've had told people, I'm not special. I'm pretty plain. Some of looked at me as though it is low self-esteem. I think not. I want very much to be ordinary. Now you may think this is odd or even weird. This is not the world's view on things. The world says you should make yourself special, and feel free to step on some toes along the way. Now, I never I didn't want to be special, but I'm not the one to make special and I'm not going to step on toes in order to do it. This is want Nancy and I agree whole heartedly that she is right. The secret of his power to transform what is ordinary into something extravagantly useful to God. Only Jesus can transform the ordinary water of my days into something brimming with life. So now when I say I want to be ordinary, I don't think it shows low self-esteem. I think it is admitting to what I am. It also shows where I can be taken. Do I think I"m something extravagantly useful to God? Not yet. That's right did you catch, not yet. I've opened myself up to God and allowed Him to start the transformation. I think one day in my life time, I'll do something and will see the miracle of God's secret.
So now I encourage all you to go out there and be ordinary. Yes, that's right, don't follow the world. You can't make yourself extravagant. You don't have the ability. You could go make yourself extravagant in the eyes world, but when the world fades so will your extravagance. If you let God make you extravagant, that fade because God doesn't fade.
Go be ordinary and wait for the miracle of God's secret.
