"Some of us feel as though we do not belong. We exist, but we do not really know why. Maybe someone in our past ignored, abused, or tried to make us into their own image. In the process we became alienated from our immediate world and even the entire universe." - Joan C. Webb
Despite the turmoil of my past, gradually I am believing that God does have a plan for me.
As hard as it is to comprehend at times, we all are a intricate part of His plan.
Hi JBR ~ I just read your last two posts and they speak to me. I don't always feel as if I belong either but because of HIM we do! The Lord does have a plan for each and everyone of us and we are all "very" important! Keep trusting and keep believing! In HIS time we are all healed!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you JBR!

Ahhh, what a lovely post especially the part about hearing that you are learning that God has a plan for you...HE does~ I can actually speak from experience as I don't feel as if I belong at the school I am at right now. I share a room with another special ed. teacher who is popular, blah, blah, blah and I am in our room at times and all these people come in and talk about what they've done together and make plans for future things and there I sit across the room. But then I ask myself if those are the things I really want to be doing with people who don't value me? and the answer is 'no' but it still hurts....
ReplyDeleteHI JBR - oh yes, we all have a pl;ace and purpose - most of all to be who we are and to share all the gifts of that being - regardless of its truths, our truth is to be shared so others can have hope. I believe that is the living Eucharist.

Oh, yes, more than we know! "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future."

Thank you for reminding me of those things that I know. You are an encouragement to me.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A WONDERFUL POST JBR. FULL OF HOPE. GOD DOES LOVE YOU. HAS A PLAN. WILL CLUE YOU IN ON IT SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES, HE SURPRISES. GOOD SURPRISES.
ReplyDeleteHow true you are JBR - He does have a plan for each of us ... it just takes some time to unravel what that plan is!
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
You are an important part in the family of God! That is one family where each one of us fits in perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI remember the first thing I said to my first therapist, "I don't belong anywhere." I truly believed that, but no more. I feel I belong everywhere - I am a child of God and the universe. I have a right to be here!

And your wings are becoming more beautiful

Jennifer

Thanks for the reminder that I am an intricate part of God's plan. Sometimes I forget that.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like the quotation you began this post with. I can definitely relate to what it is getting at. Thank you so much for sharing your uplifting words.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote. So many of us feel alienated and isolated when we are all connected. We are one with the Cosmos and the Heart and Mind of God. We need to reintegrate into the web of creation, but to do so requires us to accept our darker natures and see that we share the shadow with all humanity, just as we share the Light. Thank you.
