Dare to be different?

Most of us want to fit in. Whether it's the clothes everyone's wearing at school, what everybody is doing that night, or what everybody's summer plans are. Lately I have been challenged by wanting to fit in in an office. Every day I put nice looking clothes on and venture out to sit at a computer all day. The amazing thing to me is when I don't understand something or when my behavior doesn't quite match that of those around me I get embarassed. I want to look, talk, and be just like them when I am in the office. But today I want to challenge that. Aren't we, as Christians, called to stand out? I don't know just what this means, but I do know that God's plan for me this summer is not for me to go to work and fit in. I know there's more, I just haven't figured it out. When I think about talking to my boss about God I cringe. I know that it could jeapordize my job. But that shouldn't be an issue. I shouldn't be worried about losing my job, God's got it under control... I should be worried about losing the people I work with to Satan. Just a little food for thought to start off my day. I pray that today things would be different. I pray that I would rise to the occasion of sharing the Lord's word and not hiding in my cubicle so I don't look like an intern too much. Which, in all honesty, that probably makes me look like even more of an intern.
