Un-original

I have recently come to realize that i am an un-original person...Everything that I have learned and everthing that I have ever thought have been ideas that were not originally mine...Everything that i believe about anything has been taught to me (my great fashion sense, my love for tv, and even my ideas about God). With this in mind, I have also come to the realization that everything I think I know is based upon the different things that i am currently reading/learning/hearing/wrestling with.

I say all of this to say that over the years there has been a major shift/change in the way that I view/think about/teach about God...My view of God now is totally different than it was 3 years ago--which is not necessarily a bad thing (i think it's a very good thing), but it makes me think and second guess what i teach now and makes me very insecure about myself and the way that I think (i feel this way because i wonder if in 3 more years maybe i will have another shift in the way that i think...what will this mean for what i am teaching now--will it all be useless?) This is affecting me right now because i feel like i don't really know anything about anything--and what i teach might hurt more than it helps...hopefully that is not the case
