"Leftover" Spiritual Gifts

On all those Spiritual Gifts tests, I come out as "Organizer" or equivalent, which is very frustrating to me because I often wonder whether they just created a position so that those of us without real gifts can still feel like we have one too.

It has been especially rough for me (in what seems like a weird departure here) while watching the World Cup. Growing up, playing soccer was perhaps the only tenuous claim that I had for talent. I played a lot, sometimes for 2 teams during one season, and even had the ability to "give back" on occasion. I helped coach some teams, I even "played down" one spring on a Park and Rec team and basically wound up being an on-the-field coach. Tactically and in terms of technical skills, the teams got better and it was fun to see the progress. But it was also frustrating, because even though the level of play was more beautiful, it didn't necessarily translate into victories or goals scored (i.e. the American moms and dads didn't understand that it was more beautiful to pass back than to "boot" the ball).

As I reflect on this as I am so far past my prime (I basically stopped playing on a competitive level by my Junior year of High School) that to watch world class soccer, it's kind of depressing. What do you do when you're old and washed up? When your gift is an "organizer" and yet the only thing you've ever been able to be good at was "organizing" a defense? Or when you live in real America and "organizing" doesn't really have the same resonance as when you're in the city and people are so busy that they have to hire people to organize practically everything for them?

I don't know, and for some reason, it's got me depressed. At least more than my standard level of depression :-p.
