Original You

I'm not sure how it is in your neck of the woods but in the Bay Area right now the fad in terms of hats are these hats with flaps that cover the ears. A lot of kids and young adults are sporting these "duck hunting" hats, at least that's what I call them. Anyway, as I drove home from work yesterday I passed by a bus stop only to notice that half the kids waiting for the bus were duck hunters, yes they all had the same type a hat. I drove down the block a bit further and what did I see, yes more duck hunters.

It's not that I don't like the latest fad or hate duck hunting (truthfully never been duck hunting) but what struck me is what I felt God saying to me through the story above. God has created you to be an original, not a copy cat, not a cookie cut human, an original.

The only part of duplicate in you is the image of God. God is so incredible and so vast that even being created in his image He's created you to be an original.

There's an original purpose, original potential, and original dream with your name on it and nobody and I mean nobody can live it like you can. Live Original!
