Embracing the Unconventional Path with Purpose

It’s ok to be unconventional. - I think a lot of times it’s used as a negative term. I’ve heard people tell others that they’re unconventional as if by being different you are sort of a lesser person. Now I could sit here and say something dumb like be unconventional and search for yourself, but I don’t believe that we should be unconventional just for the sake of being different, and I especially don’t believe in being unconventional purely for personal gain or clout. Culture seems to push both these agendas pretty hard. I’m a huge fan of going against the norm but there’s gotta be purpose. - We live in a weird society where being different is celebrated, but too different is questioned. When you are different with purpose, people are very skeptical. Not going out and getting hammered, saving sex till marriage, being overly generous with time or resources, etc. are all extremely unconventional in today’s society, yet God is telling us that He’s unconventional. and He’s calling us to be unconventional and surrender so he can be powerful through us. - One of the only things God wants from us is our surrender, for us to be completely open to Him and his will. The problem is culture teaches just the opposite. We live in the self help era and I include myself in this when I say we want to fix our problems ourselves. But God wants to work through us. If we are trying to take control, we get in the way of him moving. - It’s when we are weak that He is strong. It’s unconventional to fully trust in God, but it’s when we embrace the unconventional that miracles happen. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色 #travelstoke #自然
