However, heroes are different. When I look up to one of my heroes, I don't want to be like him or her. I instead, want to embrace my weirdness and see what I can do." <br /><br />Love this Vicki. I was reading the story of Jonah last night. It says, “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them." <br /><br />What you said total made me think of this. When we idolize anyone, we miss out on our own inner gifts that were given. We are so concentrated on trying to be/have what we are not distend to, that we miss out on who we are, and what the world needs from us. <br /><br />You my friend, are such a hero!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
