Occasionally a Zombie.

World War Z.

Can we talk about Brad Pitt's pepper beard for a sec?

I know RIGHT!?!

If you haven't seen the movie it's about Zombies.

One of this nerd's favorite subjects.

One of my favorite lines from the movie captured my attention this time.

"Mother Nature is a serial killer. No one's better. Or more creative. Like all serial killers, she can't help the urge to want to get caught. What good are all those brilliant crimes if no one takes the credit? So she leaves crumbs. Now the hard part, why you spend a decade in school, is seeing the crumbs. But the clue's there. Sometimes the thing you thought was the most brutal aspect of the virus, turns out to be the chink in its armor. And she loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths."

She loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths.

In the movie, they start injecting themselves with deadly pathogens like meningitis to camouflage themselves from the zombies.  

The Zombies virus was looking for a healthy host to manifest itself in.

They don't realize that the pathogens are the camouflage until the very end of course.

But the idea that what is our weakness is our greatest strength is beautiful to me.

No I understand that this picture they are trying to paint is probably very obvious but let's unwrap it a little.

In the world we are always asked to fix whats wrong with us.

We are asked to get rid of our flaws.

We are asked to change the things that make us weak.

The world tells you you are not worth anything with your weaknesses.

But Jesus tells us differently.

He uses our doubt to make our faith stand on solid ground.

He uses our pain to bring us joy.

He uses our weaknesses to change people's lives.

He uses our brokenness to heal the sick.

I tell you what is most interesting to me about Jesus, he could have came as very large very strong man, big enough avenge us all and save us from our enemies, and save us from evil.

But he came as a baby.

He taught us how to love prostitutes, and thieves, and lepers, and hypocrites, and tax collectors, and murders.

She loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths.

Because they are!!!

Your biggest weakness doesn't define who you are as a person!

Your biggest weakness is a small part of your story that is going to be used to change the world, or maybe a small part of the world, or maybe just you!

But he came as a baby.

He taught us how to love the people who hurt us and the people who hate us, and the people who don't deserve our love, and the people who are ignorant, and the people who don't know how to love people.

She loves disguising her weakness as her strengths!

Because they are!

Your biggest weakness can be turned into your biggest strength because he came as a baby.

Acknowledge your weakness.

Acknowledge that it is not your identity.

Acknowledge that you have some work to do.

Acknowledge that it will not change right away.

Move forward.

Don't stop.

Keep walking.

If you get of the path, don't let it trip you up. Turn around get back on the path and keep walking.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

Don't makes excuses for yourself.

Keep walking.

Be a Zombie looking for a healthy host to rest in. hahaha =)
