Making a Difference

Life is…Making a Difference 
I was at a graduation where I heard the typical, don’t be afraid to be different – make a difference. Inspiring. I want to be different and make a difference, but if I’m completely honest with myself sometimes I don’t want to be different. I don’t want to go against the status quo. I want to be accepted. I don’t want to stand out. I want to be invited.
Then I go to the other extreme where I feel like I’m not making a difference. I read the new

Tim Tebow book Shaken; when he wrote John 3:16 on his eye black in college and 90 million googled the verse during the game. This year the Tim Tebow Foundation is hosting 350 proms at churches around the world for people with special needs. Wow! Obviously this doesn’t happen just because of one person, but I feel a little insignificant, that what I do doesn’t matter. I teeter between wanting to do more and a relief that I don’t have to. I don’t have the platform, twitter followers, or ability to make the nightly news.  Then I realize I’m extremely blessed. God has given me talents and treasures to use not to give myself more comfort but to help others. Am I doing what I can (really doing what I can – being different), or am I getting bogged down in my day to day needs, wants, and routines to see the big difference I can make- if only I will.  
“Don’t limit what He (God) can do based on how you limit yourself. Be you, and let God be God.” ~Tim Tebow Shaken
Matthew 25:14-30  (The Parable of the Bags of Gold)
