You are right and you are wrong. See some people are called upon to raise a kid with a special gift. So what you described above is exactly what God had planned for them. Think about it.
Yes God has called upon some people to do some extraordinary things, but he has called upon many other just to be building blocks for them.
It's like any kind of buissness today. We will go with Microsoft. Some people in Microsoft do some amazing things, but without the janitor they wouldn't really be able to do anything (the place would be in too much of a mess and smell horribly; they wouldn't be able to have think meetings in such a place).
The truth is he did not give anybody any "special gifts" like you think. We all have these gifts.
I know what you are going to say. What about people born into money, fame, athletic, ect. The truth is again we are all the same; we deal with the same problems.
Example: Whether you are rich or poor you will have financial problems. Pretend for a minute you are rich and famous. You can not go to a mall like a poor person does or you won't get any shopping done (eventually dicuises get discovered). Every shopping place you go to everybody will be hounding you. How can you shop that way. So you clothes has to come from other places (more money). You need to have pay for security, lawyers, ect. Not only that, but to keep you job you must maintain an image which costs money too. So with more money comes more bills.
The reason I know this is about 7 years ago, I lived decently financially making about $600 a month. I lived the same lifestyle 2 years later making $1600 a month. Then 3 years after that making only $1000 a month. No matter how much money I made I lived the same. I mean sure I suppose a lot more money means better things, but think about cars for a minute. If the brakes goe out on an old beeter it won't cost to much to repair, but on an expensive car it will cost alot.
I have been in every type of group there was at my old school (I have a problem of getting bored with a group after a short period of time) and I have realized we all have the same problems. Nothing different.

Yes, as a matter of fact I did.
My goal in life? For God to crown me saying, "Well done my good and faithful servant." My body is nothing but a vessel to serve the Lord!

HERE IS A BIG PART OF THE PLAN, 1WAY DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD BE A SON OF GOD LIKE JESUS?
1jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Ga 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Ga 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Ro 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Ro 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Re 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Re 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Re 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him

Tell me again when you have grown up a bit, you've just lost your job coz the conservative government has made it legal for employers to fire people for no reason, your car just broke down, your wife is pregnant again and the mortgage is overdue.

Well good luck with that. I hope that whatever God has planned for you, it includes an English class or two.

Great, maybe go work on a cure for river blindness, AIDS & malaria.
Or does your sect allow you to harm worms and viruses; "God's" Creatures?
