History repeats itself
I don't think I fit in. I don't think I ever did. I feel the closer I get to God, the farther I get from people and vice versa. This is what happened to me when I was a child, and I feel like this is starting to happen all over again. Why does everything have to be so damn difficult. I hate all this.

You should read Luke 14:25-35. God pointed me to this after reading this entry.
wow, I have felt the same way. Not since I was a child, because I didn't know Jesus then. It has only been since I moved to Atlanta.. And I guess Jesus is not in the business of fitting in. He is radical and crazy... And some how balances it all with overwhelming love. If we're made in his image, it seems that becoming more like him means fitting in less.
Sometimes, I think it's just all an attack. Satan trying to make you think that you don't fit in so that you'll go back to doing what you did before. Because then you'll be less effective & less like Christ...
Marcus, I don't know you well, but I definitely think that you carry yourself well and have a well rounded personality and seem to be able to interact with all different kinds of people. "you are a beautiful and unique snowflake" (you better get that reference, otherwise i just look like an idiot)..
What is "fitting in" anyway?!
I found this verse a couple months ago, when I was really having a hard time with this...
Galatians 6:14
"As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died."
i just thought of something else. take if or leave it. but: this world is perishing while those who seek God are being made ALIVE. . .
ha! I do get the reference but you have it wrong. Its you are NOT a beautiful and unique snowflake, you are the same decaying matter as everyone else.
But I appreciate the words of encouragement from both of you :) and I know that I shouldn't worry about fitting in, but I don't know...sometimes I just can't help but wish to be normal and be ignorant of that fact...or something like that? I don't know...I'll get over things :P
