John 15:16 you did not choose me, but I chose you!

   God has created us for a specific role in a very specific place. No one else can do exactly what your unique role is! God has created us for those times when, how, where you can best be used. Times when you can most be yourself because it is what you were created for. And being a carbon copy of what you think a perfect Christian looks like just won't work for this calling. Strip away the facades, remove the veneers, take off the masks,and remove any pretense or disguise. Whats left is the authentic person, precious in the site of God. You are fully capable and distinctively designed to achieve His purpose for your life.God has gifted each one of us with something kids. He didn't make any wasted Christians. He has a purpose for each one of us. We are called to serve His will, His plan. He has seen the whole puzzle put together and knows where we all fit. See there is no use trying to be a corner piece if you're gift is as the middle piece.
     And friends QUIT trying to fit others into slots you think they should go. Only God is equipped to see their perfect placement in the body. It speaks volumes about our maturity as Christians when we are comfortable allowing others to play the role Our Father has cast them in. When you are comfortable with yourself, you'll be comfortable offering the same favor of acceptance to those around you. You'll be free of the time consuming frustration of seeking to fit others into your own personal set of expectations. You'll allow them to be themselves.
   Ephesians 2: 10 Gods handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared for you in advance. 
   Some of this was borrowed from Resolutions for women and then countrified. lol. In all seriousness accept and celebrate the gifts of those around you extol them to others and raise up your brothers and sisters in Christ! Use the gifts God has given you as well! They are part of His design.
           God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
