I used to want to be a rockstar. I don’t know so much that I craved the attention, money or fame but rather to be legitimized. I guess I thought that I would then know, yes this is why I am here. I am fulfilling my place. Sure the idea of being rich and famous were cool but I wanted to find my place. Over a long journey I came to the realization that I didn’t need to be a rock start to have my existence legitimized. Now granted the state of the music industry is in shambles but I no longer want to be a rockstar. I find comfort and peace in just being an authentic version of me. God is the same way. I am sure that he has a nice place up in Heaven but I don’t think that it is about fame or being God to him. I think that he is just authentically loves. I understand know that I have children. I made them because of love out of love and I wanted to share that with the world. God came down to us as Jesus. He wasn’t born into a rich family. He wasn’t adorned with he finest clothes and eating the best foods. He came to earth to a poor family. He learned a trade as a simple carpenter working with his hands. Most importantly he loved, authentically. Once he began his ministry he traveled from town to town, not with some big elaborate entourage but followed by disciples won over by his love in teaching and actions. He healed the sick, not with rich fancy medicines or with a big show on a stage but by lovingly touching them. So yes I still love music and I still create form time to time but it is to share my stories and point of view out of love. I share my pain so others may steer clear of such times or not feel alone if they fall to the same weaknesses. I feel so blessed and I am thankful for all my abilities the God has given to me. I try now to just to steer everything to God out of love and appreciation. We each have a chance to be a part of God’s dream, a wonderful, full and loving heaven. You have a place there waiting for you as well. Question is do you want to reach for it? God is waiting to help you.
Mark 6:1-6
1He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him. 2And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands! 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. 4And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house." 5And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them. 6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.
