~I'm Not Oprah~

Sometimes we think of our life as not having much impact to others. I'm not Oprah with all her wealth and power. I'm not Dr. Phil with all his answers. I'm not a pastor with their inspirational words. I am Kimberly Hutchinson. And honestly my OPINION matters very little in this huge world. But what about my LIFE?!? I think us with the little simple lives often feel like we are less important than the ones that people openly look to for answers. But maybe, just maybe, people do look at our life as an answer to how they want or do not want to live theirs. The matter of fact is we can touch the lives of people around us in our own special way that no-1 else can.
In my opinion there are 3 types of "Christians" who make an impact:

• Type 1-(white picket fence Christian) I think I live better than everyone else attitude....even better than other believers.They are painting a picture for themselves and Christianity that is unrealistic. These people r really missing the big picture and are ultimately unrelatable to the non believer and push fellow Christians further away from Christ. 
• Type 2- (turn your head the other way Christian) these people r pretty relatable but when they see someone going through a hard time in their life ....They just turn the other way and focus on how great their life is. ( they might say a prayer for them) lol
• Type 3- (I am not perfect Christian) this is the category I want to be in :) they know they r not perfect and don't act like they have the perfect little life in every way. They try to help people in need. They talk to the believers AND the non believers about Jesus Christ. And know that their life is so messed up without him. These people can really relate to other people because they realize that we all are just that...PEOPLE with human tendencies!                      

 I believe it is very important to be a positive influence to others ... However; let's be real about our lives , our problems , our trials and our temptations. Lets be relatable. What's funny about the "Christian type1-3 list" is I have been all of them at one point or another sometime in my life. 
This week I have had my eyes opened to the fact that people r in our lives for a reason. And we make an impact whether we realize it or not. Hopefully we can make an honest positive impact on someones life by being realistic and developing a relatability towards people for Christ and only Christ!!


2 Verses 2 Think about:
Ephesians 5:2  Live a life filled with LOVE for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. 
1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
