Ever feel like you are an idiot for some of the things you think? I don't mean bad stuff. What I mean is do you ever find yourself in a conversation with people and they don't see it the same way as you and you are the one that feels stupid. Today was that day for me. Understand that I am surrounded by men and women at work who are older and in some cases much older than me. So sometimes when I share my opinion I feel a certain amount of pushback...like "Oh he's young, he'll change his mind when he gets to be my age". Maybe that's true. But what if there's something valid brought up from a "younger" team member?
I admit. I may be a little frustrated...not mad...I just hate feeling young...worse than that I hate feeling like I have nothing to contribute because of my age. No one said anything it's just the way I felt it was received.
I was not the wisest person in the room today, I acknowledge that. But I do serve the same God and that's where it all comes from. Young, maybe. Unusable, not in God's eye's. God has used my 4 year old to speak to me more than nearly any human on the planet. It's God, not us.
Don't know why I felt so stupid today but I did. I'm sure the Lord will chime in and give the perspective I need. That's what I love about him. I'm sure it'll have something to do with something I need to work on.
