Anything But Ordinary

Walking down this road;
Storms behind me.
I'm not proud of who I was-
Someone I was never born to be.

Inside of this heart
A spark of my love for You
Turns to burning.
Still, I can't deny
The battle for my heart continues.
I can feel it stirring.

I am tongue-twisted
Like Moses.
I am a youth
Like Mary.
I am simple
Like Joseph.
I am anything but ordinary.

Running down this road
Storms behind me
I laugh at who I was
I am who I was born to be.

I am a tongue-twisted girl of freedom.
I am an obedient youth.
I am a simple follower of Jesus,
Clinging to the Truth.
I am anything but ordinary.

Oh, how I can relate! Tongue-twisted? That's me! But I would also have to add "forgetful" to the LIST of things.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm glad you got a blessing from it!

No doubt about it, you are anything but ordinary. You are an extraordinary (exceptional,remarkable) young woman. God is using the gifts He has placed within you, your wisdom He has imparted to you and by His Spirit you will bless mulitudes and do great exploits all for His Glory. Your heart is a treasure. So blessed to call you daughter.
