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!!

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

There once was a fly....

  I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and  for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

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...
