Afraid

I'm sure that as a result of me not posting anything here anymore, probably no one will read this, but I figure most of the time I'm not posting on my blog for you, but rather for me.

I met with my friend Mark today, and we were talking about what is holding me back from being what God wants me to be. He asked me if there was something I was afraid of, and wow did that open up some feelings I haven't thought about for a long time. Basically, what it boils down to is that I'm afraid of ridicule. I'm afraid of being different therefore I'm afraid of changing. I don't really want to go into it much further right now, but I'm going to leave you with this thought. We are all made differently, and that's what makes us special. If you compare a flower to a tree, you can't identify which is which by comparing their similarities. Only when you compare their differences can you identify what you have.
