Growing up I always wanted to fit in. I was told that to be successful in life you get married and have kids and get a career. I had my career I was a teacher but that was not what God needed me to do. He let me for awhile but shut the doors and called me out. I felt hurt and that I had failed. I mean no matter how hard I tried a new teaching job had not come my way. I was in my eyes a failure no job and I was not married. I had no kids what was to become of me…. Along the way God's plan for my life unearthed and I was supposed to be a missionary!! Until today I was still struggling that I wasn't living life correctly. I mean now it will be at least two more years before I'd have time to meet or date. I again felt like a failure. In my head I should have been married and has kids by 28 and until the past year it was all I wanted and prayed for. I no longer feel I need to be married but all my friend's are married and have kids. I kinda felt left out but I had my adopted mum point out that why do I wanna fit it with everyone else if I always want to be unique. How much truth and wisdom was in that. I may be missing out on married life now but I'm going out to see the world not many people have that opportunity. My friend's took the normal path in life which is great and fine but I'm going yo be different and take the road less traveled and it will make all the difference. I have always wanted to stand out and be remembered for being different and now I truly will. So here's to leaving behind the need to fit in and embracing who I really am for the Kingdom of God!!!
