The Box Marked Ordinary

I will not settle in...to a life inside the box marked ordinary. I have been called...I have been created for more! I will not let the pursuit of wealth, fame, popularity, acceptance, or a life with no challenges trick me into letting my focus become unclear, because I am an all out warrior for King Jesus. I march to the cadence of the heart beat of Yahweh...his will is my goal. I will not settle into a life inside the box marked ordinary...

If people think I'm strange it's a small price to pay...if I loose friends so be it. If I never gain fortune or fame or if I do gain fortune and fame, my life is and always will be marked and defined with Kingdom purpose. I'm tired so tired of ordinary...my soul yearns for more. Religion sickens me, the average church service dulls me...and what has become the normal Christian scares me. Not just for our society but for them and their eternal state as well. I will not become the normal Christian I will not conform to anyone but Christ. I will search for those and cherish those who are walking this road and will walk this road with me. I will not settle into a life inside the box marked ordinary.

I will live my life to see the Kingdom come to Earth as it is in Heaven, not to get by or make a living. For I know that a life lived for anything but the Kingdom is an embarrassment to my purpose. I will follow the vision of Jesus rather than setting my long term goals and calling that a Godly vision. I won't ever let my relationship with Yahweh be something I work into my schedule...it will always be what I live for. I won't settle for a plastic life or a plastic relationship with God. I am a seeker, and when I seek him, I find what I am looking for. I will worship God with all that is with in me, I will proclaim the fame of Jesus when I'm scared, I will give God all my guts...and when he accomplishes something through me give all the glory to him and take none for myself...I will not settle into a life inside the box marked ordinary.

I will not let extraordinary become a cliche in my life...I will not let extraordinary be about what I do for me...extraordinary is about him and is more about my daily life than feats, accomplishments, or notoriety. I'll choose powerful over famous. I'll choose holiness over size. I'll choose the glory over money. I will choose Jesus over everything. To him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than I can ask or think according to him who works in me and through me be the glory! I will not settle in to a life inside the box marked ordinary...
