Being Ordinary

Hi...my name is Grace and I am just an ordinary, simple girl.   I used to have to big dreams of doing big things to change this world for God.... but here I am, many years later... tired, broken and just plain ordinary.   

I spend my life documenting extraordinary moments in other peoples lives....weddings, births, engagements, family portraits... moments that I have to honestly admit that I have not had and most likely will never have in life.  

My life has never about me or any moments in my life.   No big jobs, no big degrees, no big adventures...just an ordinary -most tlmes below ordinary- life.   How can God possibly use simple me and my ordinary life??

I guess the same way he used Joseph, and Paul, and most of the others in the Bible who didn't come with grandeur.... they all started with simple ordinary lives... and some of them never made it to any palaces or comfortable homes... Jesus included.  

So maybe the secret of life isn't in living extraordinary lives... maybe the secret is in the little, ordinary lives like mine... maybe God can still use my broken, ordinary life... to show others...

            that God loves ordinary....

                   God uses ordinary.......

    

        to show the world that God is.....

   

                     totally extraordinary.
