But do titles really matter?
When people introduce me at a lecture or seminar, I’m almost always asked what my title is. Without missing a beat, I respond with, Diva Extraordinaire. That’s a good one for today, right? [One day I will grow up. Promise.] I cringe when I’m introduced as Reverend or Bishop or Pastor. I’m neither of those.
I’m not a Minister, but I minister. I’m not a Counselor, but I counsel. I’m not a Saint, but I’m a saint. And with a simple change from a capital letter to a lowercase letter, the difference is made. Because really, titles are simply capitalized letters to clarify organizational structure. I get it. Really, I do.
When God calls us, He doesn’t give us titles. But since we’re a culture that loves hierarchy, I’ll play along.
You want to change your college? Here’s your desk placard: University Changer. You want to change your work? Here’s your door sign: Director of Life Influence. You want to change your family? Here’s your title: Chief Domestic Operator. There. Do you feel better? 😉
Now go make the change you’re suppose to. With or without a title. Because really, David wasn’t a King until he fought, Peter wasn’t a Water Walker until he stepped out of the boat, and Miriam wasn’t a Worship Leader until she began to worship.
Love it! You hit the nail on top!
Love it! This is so true. I see people everyday that "need" a title. It does give them a sense of importance or authority. We should humble ourselves and realize that we are special and have a purpose without the title. I am a Christian, a God-fearing/God-loving woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I am here for all of those who need me and that is what gives me a sense of who I am 🙂
You Diva Extraordinaire, You!
Great post.
Can you please title me, Smarter And Cuter Sister? Thanks! 😉
I lah-lah-lavvvvved this post. Preach it!
I wish I could just hug you and thank you and express my depths of admiration!
This post was fabulous, and SO, SO true!
Dear B… I LOVE YOU! That is all! 🙂
Amen. Say word…no pun intended. LOL
Girl…this post spoke to me! Like "an arrow, flying through the air and landing in my heart"….spoke to me. Awesome!
Thank you for being God's nudge in my heart today!
Dear Ms. Garcia,
Just wanted to let you know I remembered that post – about THAT title 🙂
So true what you wrote, “titles are simply capitalized letters to clarify organizational structure.” And in God’s organizational structure last is first anyway – so who needs ‘em.
Thank you Bianca – today I will help, today I will make God type of changes – sans title.
Dang yo! This is really similar to something I was thinking about the other day, and kind of branches off from where I was going on my latest blog post.
Get out of my head, B.
You sure do having a way of getting your point across in a lovely way. : )
LOVE IT
You have no idea how much i needed to read this.
LOVED that last bit. Thanks B!!
Fabuloso!!! The only title I actually really adore is that of "mami". 😉
so esp love that last part! shared it with my housegroup on fb… hope that is okay! i so love that!
BOOM! Way to call it like is. Thank you "sister".
Where I work all titles are in lowercase so even the Vice President of Marketing would be "vice president of marketing". I didn't get it at first, but it's a nice attitude check that we all play an important role.
thanks for the gentle kick in the butt:) totally needed to hear this!!
Jesus never had a title…yet HE was King of Kings =]
