here is a real anomaly in my life

Here is a real anomaly in my life. I cannot figure it out. And it has contributed to the ending of my ministry.

The Lord gave me a heart for the Kingdom and put me in narrow minded churches who only see themselves.
The Lord gave me a love of the modern and put me in churches that worship the old.
The Lord gave me a love of hospitality and put me in churches where the pastor is disconnected from the church.
The Lord gave me a love of teaching and put me in churches that only want to listen to preaching.
The Lord gave me a love for youth and put me in churches full of old people.
The Lord gave me a love of progressivism and put me in churches that worship tradition.
The Lord gave me a love of new ideas and put me in churches that only want to listen to old ideas.
The Lord gave me a thirst for knowledge and put me in churches where they feel they know all they need to know.

Why am I where I am? Why has the Lord put these things in me and put me somewhere that I cannot use them?

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
