Were you born to shine in one special way? What makes you really stand out?
In a world that loves to knock us down and
promotes perfect, a person can struggle with seeing themselves shine in a
special way. As an average person, we
aren't taught to see the beauty within us.
Ninety percent of the time I feel there is
nothing shiny about me. I mean, I am a
normal, average person. I have never received straight A’s. Popularity never followed me. Sports, I never
excelled at any sports though I did enjoy participating. In college, I failed some classes because of
working. With the military, I was never a great soldier. I did my job. I will say that I was one of the better
finance NCOs in Montana. I am a writer. In the past four years, I have written
and published four novels. Monetarily, I
am not doing well with this endeavor. As
a Mom, I always done my best, but I made mistakes. I have driven my husband nuts, but luckily he
knows that is part of marriage. I
haven’t been the best daughter or sister. I have always done what I felt was
right with all the knowledge I had at the time.
Now ten percent of the time, when the stars a line
and I feel the top of my game, I do feel shiny.
When my daughter says she loves me or I get a call from one of my sons
just to say "Hi," I am reminded I am a good Mom. Long conversations with my husband and fun
trips with him, reminds me that I am a pretty good wife. When I read one of my
well written scenes, I know I have a chance to break out in writing. And when I am close to God and give him all
my worries and suffering, I know I am shining his love through me. I was born
to shine His light. When I am completely open to the light, I know I stand out.
