Artistic abilities, I would say. A newly developed one for me is being able to keep my temper, for the most part and not letting people easily phase me. I guess that's one of those that comes with age... *feels old and wizened*

to water it down it's like being shy or not admiting of your abillitys, talents, values, ect. . . . that's the best way I can put it at least ^.^;; it show's that you're not overly proud or stuck up of your talents, ect. ect., but being TOO modest makes you seem not confident in yourself. . . I was actually extremely modest at one time to the point where I wouldn't even admit that I could do something fairly well, or I wouldn't agree when people gave me compliments, but I'm getting alot better at that recently
so all in all modesty is a good thing, but you have to keep it at a certain level ^_^

God gave me the gift of language and I can draw fairly well and I have a head full of useless (but fun!) trivia.

he blessed me with the ability to learn fast i pick up on things quickly but its because of that i act stupid i dont see the point of doing my best if i know i can do it, others dont need to know. he also blessed with resistance, im bullyed(sp) by my brothers alot so i can take a punch or kick and still make them think twice about doing it again. i dont know if he blessed me with this but i can hide what i feel, this has saved me so many times from embaresment(sp) but it has also got me into so much trouble as well because ppl dont know what im feeling they get confused and confussion lead's to anger and anger lead's to trouble i dont if its to help me later but it helps now. anyway you asked so there you have it

This is an interesting question for me, because at times I've found myself wondering what area I can contribute to CAA in...
God has blessed me with so many talents, but it's strange--while I can think of many areas I'm above average in, I have trouble coming up with that one area I excel in. A special talent. I guess I'm pretty strong in terms of general intelligence and analytical ability but even in those areas I fit in quite nicely here and don't feel like I stand out above and beyond others. I guess one area I excel in, which can be a curse as well as a blessing, is sensory sensitivity--I'm hyper-aware of my physical condition and/or surroundings. Thankfully I'm not distracted by it or I'd probably be at least borderline ADHD.
But as for a special talent to glorify God--I'm not sure that any one thing stands out, just a more well-rounded, generally above average talent in most areas. I'll certainly take that in life and glorify the Lord for it, but it makes me blend in pretty well rather than standing out in a community such as this one, and leaves me with my original question of how/where to contribute...?

Cheer up I'm sure God will make something great out of your life if you let him.
But once you find something you are good at stick with it.
Don't make my mistake.
I could have been a very good musician....but I threw away that talent. I didn't want to devote myself, I didn't want the discipline. I wanted to live my life my way and I got filled with pride....
I threw away a gift God gave me, and because of what I did I have never been able to play even a simple melody again.

I'm sure you are. I have next to no self-esteem and I know that I have God given talents. For a start what stuff do you enjoy doing? It can be a simple sounding as helping people, making friends easily, welcoming people, telling people about Jesus, stuff like that.
Think hard mate. I'm sure you've got something!

Maybe you're an artist with a good eye or something? Just throwing out ideas.
As for what im really good at im not sure. I'm pretty good at writing, but im not sure if i really stand out in that area or not. Or perhaps i do and im merely underestimating my own abilities?
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.
Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.
When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.
Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.
