Do you remember the last time you did something dorky, and what you did that made it dorky? I sometimes feel like I’m so serious but then you put me with my best friend and it can be like someone flipped a switch inside of me.

This afternoon, I was driving on my way back from an errand, and I’m in the right turn lane. Some motorcycles are in the left lane. The guy in the back happens to be next to me, and I don’t hear his music, but he’s rocking his upper body back and forth. His head is turned in my direction but I can’t see anything of his face, and I kind of do a double take type of thing… but end up smile and waving at him. He waves back and then I turn right and drive away.

Look, I’m not saying being dorky is a bad thing. Heck, I do dorky things maybe 10 times a day. I’ve gotten my worst injuries from stupid stuff like falling down the stairs, or just stepping funny. I push doors that say pull sometimes, I go into a room and forget why I went in there. I imitate movie and tv show characters and scare myself sometimes. It’s normal and extraordinary at the same time. But it’s not being ashamed of it that makes it beautiful. It’s accepting that you are one of God’s masterpieces.

What other dorky things have you done?

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2:10

Did you ever want something so bad but were afraid to take the risk? Like a new haircut, or a job? Something that could change your future? I changed my hair this past week, and it didn’t go as planned. I showed the person a picture of Jennifer Aniston’s shoulder length hairstyle from season 1 of Friends… and she gave me way too much blonde. So I’m probably done with blonde highlights. After wanting that hairstyle for so long, and then it turning out badly… kind of a let down.

At church this past Sunday, the sermon mentioned God’s promises to us. That if we are patient and understanding, He will keep His promise to us. And some give up before that happens. They might try to do it there own way and then they end up disappointed or hurting worse than they were before.

My point with all this is God keeps His promises to us. He just asks us to be patient, and love one another. Trust in Him through the bad times, and He will walk with you during the good times. Our trials are what makes us stronger, not only in character, but in our faith and love for Him.

“For I will surely save you… because you have put your trust in Me.” -Jeremiah 39:18
