Author and speaker Maureen Miller joins me to share about her mindset of Embracing Being Peculiar.
Have you ever had the feeling you weren't like everyone else? Like you aren't "normal" and you don't fit in? "Being normal" is the goal, right? Maybe. Maybe not.
Maureen shares, "I longed to be normal. I don't know exactly what I thought normal was, but I knew that I didn't feel like I was that. And therefore, I felt left out. I began to develop a mindset of being one on the outside looking in at everything I considered normalcy. I just never was invited to be part of that."
Sound like you?
Her description sounded a lot like how I felt as a kid, and even sometimes feel as a middle-aged adult.
Maureen shares how not feeling normal impacted her. And she shares what God did to show her that He had something far better for her than "normal."
Notable quotes:
* "By promise from God's Word, I received His love in return. He took me to a different place. He removed that mindset of normalcy and gave me something so much more beautiful."
* "If Jesus set the example - shunning normalcy and embracing peculiarity - then that's what we should do too."
* "My soul - the fighting soul, the despairing soul, the bitter soul, the fearful soul - waits silently for God alone."

* Matthew 16:24
