Ruined to the Ordinary

I left home with the strong conviction that I would finally know the 'other side' of life. When you grow up in a house where everyone is involved in the ministry you tend to think that you never really have the opportunity to 'experience' what my friends call : Real Life ...

At first everything seemed out of a movie...what i was doing had a 'status' ie, I had a normal life that included getting up, eating, going to work, go home and sleep, clearly the remuneration at the end of the month was something I enjoyed but, my mind reminded me of the purpose for which Once I decided to study communications in college.

Every day I felt like something inside me told me that I was not on the right track, call me crazy or insecure, but something inside me said that there was much more than I could see or have, I was ruined for the ordinary ...

Belize is a country in the process of a revival and just like the rest of the world, they are standing on the gap to stop agendas that will mark the future of the new generation.

So when that feeling came over me I blamed the country's situation and kept doing it until I discovered that Esther experienced the same thing a few centuries ago when a Jew represent his people in the royal court and a descendant of Agag sought to destroy: For not kneeling before him.

Esther went through a long process to realize that she was ruined for the ordinary, Aman had conspired against the Jews and she was in a crucial position to transform history.

I'm not saying I'm the new Ester, I say that God puts us in crucial positions for crucial moments. Esther enjoyed the best things,just like I did but I'm sure something inside her never allowed her to enjoyed them the same way someone else would do. She had a vision ( although she didn't know as yet).

Be ruined for the ordinary involves more than give yourself body and soul to work in ministry X or Y, spend hours constructing a building for refugee for a community or simply make charity.

TO be ruined to the ordinary means knowing your vision, stand in the gap in order to make a change when the odds are against you, knowing that GOD IS AHEAD OF YOU, because you were born for such a time like this.

It's a matter of courage, to realize that what Mordecai told Esther is true: 'If you remain absolutely silent, another will arise relief and deliverance for the Jews is (...)'English translation:"If you do not do something with God's call He always find someone else to do it".

Esther discovered her vision when she saw that her people would be eliminated product of an edict sealed with the ring of the King, So she stood on the gap and her eyes were opened to the extraordinary thing that God wanted to do in history.

God places us in crucial situations for crucial reasons. It took me a while but I finally got it. I can not be at a better place and on a best time of my life.

It takes just a little faith to see God doing extraordinary things using someone ordinary like that young Esther, or a young pastor like David

ALl I can say are the words that have marked my heart since I heard them from the mouth of Esther (or at least read it from the Bible): 'I will go before the king,even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish
