Ordinary People

He chose Moses. He chose David. He chose Peter, and he chose Paul. He chose me, and you, and everyone. All just common people. Simple people. People with nothing special about them, except that they said Yes. They obeyed, and took the task God assigned them. Moses was a murderer, Jonah a fisherman, David a Shepard, Mary a peasant, and Paul a young man out to destroy Christianity. The thing is they ALL said Yes. And God used them all the same to do his extraordinary tasks. I am just a plain girl from South Carolina. Broken in many ways, sinful and inadequate. Common and simple with nothing special about me. Except, that I said Yes. Yes to God's will and his plan for the people and places he has put in front of me. I am just an Ordinary girl serving an Extraordinary God!

Psalm 37:3-6
