There's so much freedom in realizing that we are each uniquely designed by God. In seeing this as truth , it would be absurd to think that our journeys in search of God's fullness and truth would all be the same. I have a personality that likes quiet and peace. I have to have it to hear, to learn, to pray, to enjoy God. Even knowing this , I've felt "less spiritual" than others who think we should all dance during worship. Why is that? I think it's my need to conform and be led by man instead of believing that the spirit within me would know best how to communicate my love for the Lord. I want to embrace how God put me together and the passions that I believe were within me from the moment of my creation. I want to embrace this part of me and then "let go" of any inhibitions and pre-conceived ideas about how to know God.
This is an exciting phase of life for me. I feel that in many ways I have a new freedom to explore God and my place in this world. I feel a new peace about who I am and being OK with it. Really, better than OK. I'm beginning to feel good about it and sensing GREAT is now far out of my reach. So, in case someone else reads this , I'll sum it up better;
YOU are UNIQUE
Quit comparing your situation to others: God has brought you to THIS place and spend the time and energy to discover what is wonderful about it and what you can learn from THIS PLACE.
Don't expect others to understand or agree with everything you do or believe. Don't discount your beliefs because of this.
Embrace and be OK with others. You don't have be be on the same page all the time.
If you'll ALWAYS seek God and truth....you'll find you way through the maze or marriage and parenting.
