Does anyone have any ideas what spiritual gifts I have or what things I most make a difference in?
(BTW, one of my greatest insecurities in high school was the idea that I might not make a difference to the people around me, so I really can be quite unaware.)

question about what I do
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

I would say kindness is definitely one area that you are gifted in and it can make a big difference in the daily life of friends and even strangers.

Well...I dont know you well enough to know how you're like but you seem like a kind person.
It's hard tot ell online. Heck, I don't even know my friends spirtual gifts and I'm with them everyday. I'd attend a class or seminar to help discover these. Foru instance, I took one I discovered I had encouragement. However, my parents were talking to me and how I handle situations (a friend kinda betrayaed me but I forgave them) and they said I had mercy or was it compassion. I easily forgive the hurts people do to me. I never hold groges.
Just need to wait to see what they are. Utilizie them though. They are God's gifts given to you so not to use them is not using His gifts.

Sheherazade,
Just to reiderate what some people have already said. Its had for other people to tell what spiritual gifts you may have. Not only because of the barriar of the internet, but also because many people have gifts that they do not understand how to use and so they are rarely sene.
I know there are tons of spiritual gift tests on the internet... I cant think of any right now, but Im sure your search for one would be short.
In the mean time, here are some of the gifts I can think of and some verses that referance them. I do not beleive that all these gifts are still in use, but I do not doubt the potential for any of them.
Im sure, with Gods help, you will find them.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
