Master of None

Ever hear the saying "jack of all trades?" Sounds so good doesn't it? A person who is a "jack of all trades" is quite good at almost everything. If nothing else, he is competent in everything he does. I believe I am somewhat of a "jack of all trades." I know computers, history, science, math, technology, carpentry, electronics, grammar, spelling, and i'm just full of random information. I know a little bit about a lot of things. Doesn't sound too bad does it? Well, unfortunately, there is more to this whole "jack of all trades" thing. If you want to really complete the phrase, then it should read "jack of all trades, master of none." That's right, master of none. What does this mean? It means that while i know a little bit of stuff about a whole lot of things, that's it. I know a little bit of stuff. Master of none. I don't know enough to be considered an expert in anything. I am proficient at many things, but do I excel at any of those things? Unfortunately not. Now, some people, they may not know many things, but they know something, and that thing they excel at. Some people know music, and they are amazing musicians. Others know science like there is no tomorrow. Others, videogames, card games, cars, electronics, computers. Me, i'm eh. I can play a few songs on guitar, keep a simple beat on the drums, but I'm no virtuoso, and I'm definitely no song writer. I can find my way around a computer more than some people, but I'm not a hacker, or a programmer, not even close. So what does this all mean? The bible speaks of God given talents, gifts of the spirit, teaching, speaking, performing, greeting, helping, fixing. What is my God given gift? What is my gift of the spirit? I'm too shy/nervous to start up a conversation with strangers, I can barely even greet someone walking by. I'm not good enough at music to be able to perform, I don't know enough to teach, and yet I struggle just to study and read the Word. God knows what my gift is, I'm just hoping he will reveal it to me. I mean the only thing that i know I'm good at right now is learning just enough to be proficient at things, being just good enough to get by, being average. I'm sure God can change this though, and I sincerely hope he does. Until then, Average James
