The Typical

There's this beautifully written song by a band called MuteMath that sings about how life can be so typical. Being a typical person, living a typical life, doing everyday typical things, and wants to know how long it will be before that spell breaks. How long will it be before they can be 'somebody'. 

To be truthful, this is a question i've asked myself many times. "How long before i get my big break", "How long till i can be SOMEBODY". 

It's like everyone i know is waiting for that new car, or dream job, that perfect boyfriend, or a load of cash to make them a 'Somebody'! Yet these things are only a vapor in the wind. It's the worlds typical way to make them....well, typically Happy. 

Am i really waiting on those kinds of things to make me a somebody? A cool top, a great pair of shoes, or losing five pounds? Not that those things are bad, BUT when i rank my self worth or happiness to how much i have, or how good i can look, I have become a slave to it. I have let the devil take a foothold of me, and my heart, mind and soul just can not justify that! 

So it makes me wonder, "how do i steer from becoming the typical?". What or who do i have to act like, talk like, or look like to become that 'somebody'? 

It might sound silly, but after much heart ache, i found the Answer I needed: Christ. 

Philippians 2:5 -Your attitude should be like that of Christ Jesus- I need to be like Christ!

I mean seriously, wasn't Jesus the most untypical man that ever walked the face of the earth!?! He healed people, He transformed lives, He taught His people how to live differently. He died for them. He taught us how to live un-typically. 

I can't just ignore that. I neeeed Him!

I might not have all my ducks in a row, and i definitely am far from being un-typical, but i do want to be the 'Somebody' that Christ wants me to be. I do want to be set apart from this world, and I do want to Go Against the Grain. (wearing a cute pair of shoes while i'm at it I might add) I just hope and pray Christ redeems the mistakes i have made for His glory, and that i will continues to grow and learn to be a Woman of God. 

So please, join me on my Journey, and I will try to share with you the things I am so privileged to learned from my God.
