Being a Wannabe

 

I am musing about....

Being a Wannabe

Who do you wannabe?

What do you wannabe?

Last evening something fun happened. I was out on our patio sitting at the table, strumming along on my guitar (for my enjoyment only...nothing too amazing for sure!)

All of a sudden a fast winged small creature buzzed by me and started partaking of the nectar from the petunias in the pot on the table before me. What?

Was it a hummingbird? It looked like one. Kind of. Then again it looked like a large moth. That looked like a hummingbird. I wished I had my camera more handy.

So then I did the next obvious thing. I googled it. How fascinating! Seems I had the "rare treat" of spotting a "hummingbird moth" 

The article I read called this insect a hummingbird "wannabe".

For some reason, it made me start thinking about being a wannabe vs being comfortable with who we are.

Honestly, these posts are stretching me a bit. I am "putting myself out there". It makes me wonder how they are being perceived and received?

I can tell from the google analytic stats that I have quite a few readers (I see stats only, no names:) ). Thank you!!

It is my hope and prayer that you find these posts to be interesting and encouraging. That they make you think about and ultimately look to Jesus.

It is with a peaceful heart that I post them, feeling comfortable for the most part with who I am. Praying that God will use this blog for His glory.

It is teaching me to be "embrace the way God made me and the thoughts He gives me".

Yet....we are all susceptible to being a wannabe. Wannabe thinner. Wannabe cuter. Wannabe more this or more that. More able to do this or to do that.

And so, I take pause and consider.

Who is it that I ultimately wannabe like? What is my heart's deep desire? 

As a child of God, it is to be more Christ-like. More like my loving, caring Savior.

Oh, I have a long way to go. How thankful I am for His grace and the sanctification process which takes us day by day on a personal journey; teaching us to be more like Jesus.

I really wannabe!!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...
