The Average Jane Journal #35
February 22, 2009
I watched the Oscar Awards tonight. I have a bit of a confession to make-I LOVE award shows. I always have. I remember watching them as a teenager. I had my lists ready, with all the nominees and marked the winners in my notebook. Boys grew up with their sports stats, well I had a notebook full of music and acting awards.
Tonight I was thinking about my love of music and acting-basically a love of entertainment. Since being a child, I have always thought how cool it would be to be a singer or an actor; skills I was not given, sadly. I have also wondered what it must feel like to write a song, book or movie-to have my feelings, words, experiences touch someone else. But it dawned on me tonight that basically I dream of creating something.
We were created in God’s image. Well, since He is our Creator-doesn’t it make sense that we might have a desire to create also? I think we all have a bit of that desire in us, a desire to create something that means something to someone.
The big questions is-what am I creating? Is it worthy of the ultimate Creator’s approval? Whether you enjoy the same things I do or not, we all have skills, dreams, passions-we can all create.
Never forget-God created you and you mean something.
You are God’s Oscar!!
