Growing up different

Growing up, my parent's always taught me that I was normal, that I was differentn't like everyone else. Even when I was young going to the school for people with disabilities, I remember my parent's saying that I said something to the extent why are they different.  Just by looking in the mirror, I could see that I was different even with all of the operations that I have had throughout my life.  I am glad my parent's treated me like everyone else, and I am glad that I was able to learn on my own that I was different and I wasn't like everyone else.  Even with the help and support that my parent's taught me, that I would be teased, I would be made fun of, I would be rejected in certain situations, whether because of a job, or because of friendships, it still doesn't ease the pain when it actually does happen even as an adult.  We can read God's word that He loves us, cares for us, watches over us, and will protect us and be their for us in our time of trouble, which He will be.  We know the old cliche that when we are going through the storms of life, that is when He is carrying us.  Though sometimes I think we just need to be open and honest with each other, and know to keep God first in our lives, and know that God has a plan and a purpose for our lives.  Remember that we are not the only one that has gone through pain and hurt either.  Jesus had 12 men, that He trusted and loved, all of them left him in his time of trouble, one of them betrayed him, and one of them denied him.  He even cried out when He was being crucified My God My God why have you forasken me. Matthew 27:46.  When their is no one around that we can be open and honest about the trials and difficulties that we are facing go to God.  God never says well I want you to pray to me, but I don't want you to tell me your hurts, pains struggles, what your angry about because He does.  Sometimes were angry with God, be honest and open with him about that, God doesn't want you to hide it, and let it build up.  Lets begin to be honest and open with those that we are close to, and let us be honest and open with the one that loved, and died for us.
