Commonly Unique
Something I keep realising again and again right now, is how unique each of us is--yet how much the same too.
On random impulse I popped over to Ruth Ann's blog just a moment ago. It had been a while since my last visit and so I just kind of kept reading, until eventually I hit the last post on the page. In it she quoted some verses from Isaiah 43 (*my* chapter at the moment), and also made a small analogy about how God has "got us", how He's holding us. We might be going through the fire, but even when right in the very hottest of these flames, He promises we won't get burnt.
These had been my exact same thoughts yesterday.
Then the day before that I found that Jolene had written my thoughts yet again for me. Nearly word for word...
Just between Ruth Ann, Jolene, and I we each have a unique "fire" that we're walking through; yet we're each experiencing similiar emotions, each finding similiar answers from God.
Looking around, I see it's the same everywhere. It's like God has created some sure things in this life. Some things like emotions and the answers to our problems don't seem to change. Between everone human on this spinning planet these things don't seem to change. They're common.
The intricate weaves of each of our lives are totally unique, though. My fire at the moment is physical; Jolene's is the future; and Ruth Anns something different yet again.
It all reminds me of a cool song that I heard by a Swedish band when I was down in Tassy last. Singing acapala (sp?), the group described the common ins and outs of each of our lives, then concluded in the chorus that we're "all commonly unique." And I can't help thinking that we are.
