Over the last couple of months I've been thinking about how I can become more peculiar. My saying that has probably convinced most of you that I have arrived at my desired destination. Stick with me though. Peculiar is not a word that you hear often, but it's a great word that means to be uncommon, unusual or distinctive in nature or character from others. That last one really resonated with me. Distinctive in nature or character from others. I don't want to be weird for the sake of being weird, but rather to live a life that looks different than the norm. Dave Ramsey always says, "Normal is broke." and I think that applies to every aspect of life. I don't want to be "normal" in any aspect of my life. How do I get there?
Seven times in the King James version of the Bible God calls his people "a peculiar people". 1 Peter 2:9 says, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." My goal is to become more and more peculiar as I learn what it means to follow Jesus. If that's what God calls us, I want to become more and more like that. The goal of this blog is to get others' insights and experiences about what becoming a peculiar people looks like. I would greatly appreciate any insights you have on your journey towards peculiarity.
