Uniquely alike :-)

I'm unique... you're unique. We may have similarities but no two people are exactly the same. The mold was broken when each one of us was made :-) We may have many things in common, the main one being that, whether we believe or not, we share the same creator.

It should come as no surprise then that our creator often tells us the same things, guides us the same way, gives us the same tasks, breathes the same words of encouragement & motivation over us!!! 
It doesn't always  happen but sometimes it does.......and I've discovered that this happens most with people of a similar character to me.....what I term as 'Soul Sisters'.  

I've had periods of no particular closeness with my Soul Sisters yet we still meet up after the silences to discover God leading us a similar way, speaking to us about the same things, using the same analogies, pictures, bible verses, songs etc  and asking (some of) the same things of us, whispering the same words of encouragement along the way.
  
But we respond (or not!) in our own unique way.....maybe alike but not (often) exactly.  There is nothing wrong with this. People of the same ilk tend to be good at & enjoy the same types of things.  It's these things that we have in common that lead us to pass on from being acquaintances to friends.   

I'd like to draw encouragement from such times as these, that I'm not as on my own on my journey, as I sometimes feel, that others do understand more than I realise :-) That some of the things that are being asked of me may sound strange, trivial, impossible etc..... but hey, I'm not the only one being directed that way so let's be strange, do the trivial... & conquer the impossible together!!!

Let's support one another to be the best we can in all that we are, and to reach the full potential of who we were created to be :-)
