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!!

A Valentine's Love Letter

   A Valentine's Love Letter On this Valentine's Day, how many of you got a card from someone you love? Precious words that made you feel cared about, treasured...loved! It means alot doesn't it? I especially appreciate when those cards have my husband's (or children's) own handwriting on them, their personal expression, their genuine sentiments of endearment. And so may I take this opportunity to remind all of you, that God has written a love letter for you. Written in red even (perfect for Valentine's Day)! His Holy Bible is your love letter, for it delivers the beautiful Gospel message, the proclamation of hope, the recipe for joy, the instruction manuel for life, the map for salvation. His letter shares of His Creator heart, of His desire for relationship, to have those He can pour all His love into and on. It relates of how He miraculously and lovingly created a beatiful world for His creation. Of how He realized that only by giving His created people a fre...

When life is hard. Really hard

  I am musing about... When life is hard. Really hard. There are dear ones who's lives are hard. There is no other way to put it. At times, I think about those who live in third world countries, or in slums, or the ghetto, or crack houses. Those who were born into poverty and pain. Those involved in addiction, maybe trafficking, sickness, heartache and despair. It is real. It sounds beyond hard. It breaks my heart. But not enough. There are those who appear to have good lives in a middle or upper class situation. But their lives are  full of challenges, confusion and sadness. There are those who things just do not seem to go well for. They suffer rejection and disapointment time and again. There are those who find themselves reaching for things they know they should not to try to heal the hurt. Even those who have reached for the Great Physician and have come to know His love and grace, and still they succumb and fall. And the layers of hard deepen. I recently listened to an a...

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...
