In a world of strangers

I feel little today. Little as in insignificant. I'm not totally convinced that I've ever felt significant in a lasting, life-changing sort of way.

Today it was brought on by reading other people's blogs. Strangers always seem like lively and adventurous creatures. They make the most out of life, they travel, they discover their calling, they change the world.

I feel like I will disappear in a world full of these people. My career path looks more like an overgrown trail in the jungle. If God has called me, I've been too busy singing to hear it. And if God has called me to sing, I've been too afraid to embrace it.

I'm not sure how I'll make a difference in the world. Life feels messy. I don't want to disappear. But mostly I just want to live in the life God has made for me, resting securely in the plans he has laid out. Being significant, being unique. Being just myself.
