Uniquely So

Have you ever come across a person that is so unique that you have millions of thoughts of wonderment in your head about them? For me, it is someone age 10. This is my first year meeting her. She pushes snow on the ground with her head while crawling on her hands and knees. She wears the most interesting outfits. She sometimes looks put together, other time looks disheveled. She believes in unicorns and fairies. She has few friends and is often alone.

You should see her stories. She has the most imaginative stories. Her most recent class project was incredible. Due to the fact that I don't have Apple TV, she could not showcase her project on my SmartBoard which she did on Book Creator instead of Google Slides. That didn't phase her one bit. She walked around with her project on the Yellow Fever reading her project upside down so that we all could see it right side up and with a voice level appropriate for classroom presentations.

She is so unique and a delight to teach.  Whereas her mother in many conferences has been confronted with her daughter's erratic behavior seen as a disability, I showed the mother how her daughter's strengths were the exact thing she was born for. She was born for more.


She was born for something so profoundly unusual that only she will be equipped to knock it out of the ballpark.

Whatever it is.

It is easy in a world that wants us to morph into what it offers, to feel like we are not enough. The limits from believing what the world has to offer not only to erase our confidence but our boldness here on Earth and eternally as well. 

So here's to you, the girl in my class and to you my friend and reader. You are enough. Every little part of you was created perfectly wonderful by the Creator of the Universe who says you are more than enough. Be boldly courageous and uniquely you. You were born with such a magnificent blueprint that is so unique to you that it could not be ever recreated. Learn to embrace how you were created and designed because you were designed for a purpose.


Hebrews 10:35-36 So do not lose [throw away] the courage you had in the past [or your confident trust in God; or your boldness], which has a great reward. You must hold on [persevere & endure], so you can do what God wants [his will] and receive what he has promised.
