Today I reflect back on all the times I have felt out of place.
A lot of this was my fear of not fitting in.
As a child there is no greater discomfort than of being an odd-ball
to say the least and an odd ball I was.
I tried desperately to be like others, but even that felt odd.
It wasn't who I was, so naturally it felt odd.
The funny thing is, that the same people I was looking to for validation that I was okay
had their own identity issues going on.
We were all on the road of discovery.
There were just those having the confidence I lacked,
acting as if they have the answers I was looking for.
I laugh now, as I see life through a different set of eyes.
Eyes that have matured naturally and spiritually.

Psalm 139:14 says "I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well."
My soul did not know that God made different and wonderful.

We live in a society of clones.
A society that is fearful of being different.

I say embrace your uniqueness, share it with others.
We are like a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Delight in your uniqueness, God does.
No one can be you like you.

Love you, God so loves you.
