I have a third heel. Yes, I know,
it's amazing!
And with this super human adaption to my body, I am able to accomplish incredible feats that the average human being could only dream of. Things so unbelievable that I couldn't even tell you lest you faint from pure, jealousy induced, amazement.
Actually, it kinda hurts.
Which is why I went to my Dr recently to ask him why I am growing a twin brother on my heel.
His response, "hmm, not sure what that is, it's weird though", was not the most comforting thing I've ever heard my doctor say.
So, I went to the specialist who had much the same response followed by, "we're going to need to cut that off and biopsy it". That will be happening on Monday.
Yeah, it's anesthetization time!! The Dr did tell me it made me unique though, to which I thought, "Please tell me there is something more than my heel twin that makes me unique".
And guess what, there is!! Actually there is for us all.
In the bible, Psalms 139 tells us that God not only uniquely made us but because of that, He intimately knows us. Even though I believe that, I have often thought that I'm still not all that different from anyone else, am I?
There is a strength based assessment called the StrengthsFinder. It's a tool that measures the order of a person's strengths based on a list of 34 traits. These traits are measured and charted from 1 (your strongest) to 34 (your weakest). At the end of the test you are given your top 5 strengths (in order) with the belief that success is found when a person operates in their strengths & not by trying to increase the effectiveness of their lower strengths. I took the test some time ago but attended a seminar on these strengths two weeks ago.
I learned one thing that completely fascinated me; much like you probably felt when you learned of my super human heel.
In your entire life only ONE other human being will ever share the exact order of your particular top five strengths.
AND, throughout all of human history NO ONE will EVER share the exact order of all 34 of your strengths.
I love it when science and technology tell us what God has already been telling us.
You are fearfully & wonderfully & uniquely made. There truly is not another human being like you, there never has been & there never will be. If you ever doubt that God made you for reason & purpose, that He actually has plans for life, then just remember that He only made one of you, there is no one else like you.
How amazing, and how loving, and how purposeful, is our Lord & savior, Jesus Christ.
