Fame and Fortune

Hi, hello. I think that fortune but especially fame is something that as human beings we all have a desire to have. We watch those celebs on TV or listen to them play there music loudly for everyone to hear and then we think why can't that be me? For some crazy reason we have some desire to be known. Some part of us wishes that our fans would run up to us on the streets and ask us for an autograph or want their picture taken with us. Personally I have been planning on finishing writing a book that I have been working on and getting it published. The book has a powerful spiritual message and I believe that God gave me the idea and he can impact lives through it. Lately though I have been struggling with how to write it and I think maybe its because I am thinking more about how people will react if I can get it published and the fact I could end up famous from it rather than thinking about doing it because God wants me too. I keep telling myself and God that I don't care about fame, they don't even have to remember my name but there is some deep part of me that longs to be famous and I don't understand it. Why can't I just accept being an average person that loves and serves the creator of the universe. The other day I was travelling in the car and I had a realization. God has a plan that is bigger than anything we could possibly imagine. Its far greater than being well known and will last for an eternity. As hard as it may be we must remember that when we have that desire to be famous or/and wealthy we need to remember that God's plan is far greater that any of it and if we have Christ's love in us we could be street bums and have more Joy than others. God has a bigger plan than fame and fortune.
