O is for Ordinary. Today I am going to take a little side trip from my usual posts about my books.

For one of my current wip’s I have been researching Jesus’s twelve apostles. In my research it has become very evident that the twelve men Jesus chose to be his apostles were very ordinary men and very similar to me. It was only with the help of the Holy Spirit that those men were able to rise above the ordinariness of their lives and become what Jesus knew they could be.

Those same truths hold true in my own life. I question how God can use my work to His ends. Then I realize that; it’s not for me to determine what God will work with. If God has called me to do something I am sure that He knows just how that will work. It is up to me to have faith that God will see it through. He will make this ordinary person, extraordinary.
