Dare to be Different
I remember my last Christmas with my family before I got married and moved out of state. Actually, I should say I remember the gifts from that Christmas. I remember the gifts just as clearly as when I received a keyboard with a built in DJ kit when I was 7, but I digress. What did I receive? I got a Selah CD with songs from their time living in Africa as missionaries. I got a small silver bell so that every time I heard its ring, I would remember my family. I got a cool paisley shirt, a Hebrew-Greek study Bible and a silver necklace with a charm that read Dare to be Different. Gifts are not my love language, but looking back, these gifts played a crucial part of my life that would bring me to where I am now. Looking back, I know that my parents were giving me tools to follow Jesus on my own as they released me into adulthood. Much of the symbolism from these gifts still follow me today, but not as much as the Dare to be Different necklace. Growing up, I always knew that God set me...
