re: Imitation

So, this comment is really off of one of my favorite blog spots of all time.  It is called Evotional this blog spot is Mark Batterson's from National Community Church.  There is so many times that Mark writes something and I am like YAY!  I get it.  I agree.  I could not have said it better myself.  It is like a little boost in my day (who needs Red Bull) ... I print his writing and hang them up around me as encouragement.  Check it out! 

I once read a book, Called Your an original, don't die a copy!  Well, Mark's blog this week was about really pursuing the fresh, the new ideas.  We serve a creative God, who designed and crafted us in HIS image.... CREATIVE! (Right!)  We do not have to imitate anyone or anything, each one of us are unique!  I love it!  That I will trump until the end of time.  That is my story. When I quit trying to imitate and became all that God designed me to be... it revolutionized my entire life.  I am not rebellious.... I am an original.  I am walking in my God shape.  Which is different from every one around me even those that I love the most and admire and would love to be like them.  But, there tall and I am short.  They are like a model and I am short. They are so put together and I am just down right silly! (right Em!)   or, whatever the differences may be! 

So as a declaration of sorts...here it goes!    Hey, an imitation is never as good as the original right?  What is that imitation crab meat anyway?  Mark says "Imitation is Suicide"... I am not willing to die to that!  Imitation no way.  I will take the Original that God called me to be.  I hope the same for you!  I challenge you to discover you!  It will change your life!  It will!
