Spiritual differences in gifts.

I am Honduras crazy. Sometimes, I even feel a little crazy because I just want to be there so bad. This type of desire isn't quote "normal" for my stage of life. Most people my age are about to begin their senior year, and are exciting for the next stage, college. Which is totally great. The only problem is when I want to talk to people about my dream. I get questions about "so are you going to college?," or "Why would you want to do that?" I just get bogged down sometimes. But I have to remember, that God wired all His children in different ways. People who aren't Christians definitely won't get why I want to do what I want to do. And other Christians may not have all the insight or feelings that I do. And that's ok. God gave a specific job to all of His children, and even for people in the same field, their specific purpose is different from their teammate's/coworker's specific purpose in that field. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 (Bold type added by me) 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Well, some more praying and reading of the Bible for me. :) Even if no one else understands completely, my brothers in Christ have wisdom to share. And God knows my feelings exactly :)... In the meantime, if you read this, will you pray for me? I could really use it. Patience and Peace are top on my list, and I'm trying my best to have them. It's hard, but it's a journey that can be completed with the help of the LORD. Thank You Yeshua for never giving up on me!! :)
