Not out of the ordinary..

I consider myself blessed to be a part of a group of people who do not settle for ordinary. I enjoy it even more so, when the things I consider "ordinary" are the furthest cry from ordinary one could get. I love that being stuck in traffic or sitting on a couch talking to a friend can result in the most impactful sharing of life or sharpening of the saints.
I do, however, despise that we can get in our own ways. I hate that I can't control how I feel, emotionally respond or even my facial expressions sometimes. In a sense, it has forced the most sincere honesty on my part.. but I mostly just wish I could stay out of the way entirely. That my personality could hide in a box under my bed and come out to play at a more convenient time for everyone. But no, that is not the case. Sorry!
This is not a post about the book captivating like I had planned. but this is a piece of my soul in the height of its misunderstanding.
Something else:

"To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men. This is such a common truth that one hesitates to mention it, yet it appears to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians today."
