I received a Martina McBride CD for Mother's Day and one of the songs "When You Love Me" has the following first verse:
Sometimes I feel like I never quite fit in
Like I'm always a little out of place
It's hard to be everything to everyone
There's so many roles I have to play
Sometimes I'm just barely hanging on
Seems like I'm always fighting to be strong
To find somewhere that I belong
Wow...did she read my mind?
I don't know specifically right now where God wants me serving - with kids? with women? with teens? some place I don't even know about yet? I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for God to tell me. In the meantime, I truly feel like I don't quite fit in and am out of place. A lot of people in my world circle think I have it together, am strong, happy, etc. Yes, I have a LOT of joy in my life but no I don't have it together and wish I could be myself and still feel like I fit in. Know what I mean?

Im right there with ya, sister!! I've spent a lot of time in my life working to figure out who I am in Christ, who He made me to be, and even why He made me to "be". And now, as I turn 37 in one week, I often feel like I'm still so far away from the answer. I don't know where my "sweet spot" is, but I feel like it is so close I can almost touch it; like when you can't remember a certain word, but you know it's just below the surface.
