My son was to present yesterday for their French Class regarding the career they were interested in. A little challenging as they needed to speak in French, as understandable. He enjoyed anything with Graphic Design. He currently helps his Graphic Design teacher in teaching other students or classes. He makes shirt designs and prints them himself. He designs logos and had helped a business owner changed his ad in a newspaper using the ad he did himself.
He was well-prepared except the teacher was not able to be there yesterday. So, he had to do it all over again tomorrow, Friday. He wanted to make a lasting impression by wearing a special t-shirt his teacher had given him as a gift for him helping the teacher out in many ways.
It is a dark blue shirt with a golden word printed that says: “Graphic Designer(d)”

His aim was not only to talk about something he loves to do but he wants to show a sample of the t-shirt printing they do in their own class.
“Nerd…”
What’s being good like striving to become a good student is labeled as “nerd” in today’s society. What’s being different by choosing morality vs. evil things is being labeled as “nerds” today. When a person does not go with the flow of the things of this world, it’s being called as “nerd”.
But God is calling us to become “Nerds”…Different…Set apart…
He is calling us believers to become “HOLY!”
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
- 1 Peter 1:14-16 (NIV)
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:1 (ESV)
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” –Romans 12:2 (ESV)
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)
You must be really proud of your son. Graphic design is a great field to be in these days. I don't mind being called a "nerd" if it means I am different from the world.That is a good way to be. Praise God for all the "nerds", set apart for Him.

Children have so much to offer. And the ones that grow up in a somewhat "normal" family I believe show early on more of their potential. Thank you dear one for sharing. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI pray that God will give your son to His Son!! Rather a "nerd" for Jesus... than all the gold in the world.
