I've been reading alot about diversity lately; the unique gifts and abilities God gives us, the diversity that creates, and the beautiful way unity is created when we come together with our differences. Ironically, it's not the coming together that I don't get, but the diversity. I can't wrap my mind around what it means to be uniquely different and, on an intensely personal level, what that looks like for me. Not only am I uniquely different as an individual, but those things which make me unique are the very things which God has called me to excel at, to exploit for the betterment of mankind, to embrace as the focus and niche of my life.
I have spent the better part of this year wrestling with this very concept and feebly attempting to come up with a picture, a mere sketch, of what this really looks like for me; a 24 year old, single, college student with a full time job, living on her own in Redondo Beach. How does this play out in my job, at my home, in my relationships, in my schooling, my future? Searching desperately for a little focus in my life, I've begun to process through the written word what my niche might look like.
