I determined to write this way, but how I can get caught up in the trappings. A revelation that fame is seductive to a “grounded” person like me or so I have deceived myself. As love of money does not apply only those with it.
I have opened more to the Holy Spirit's leading, drinking from that fountain of life. It always has been God's story.

Thanks for an honest, thoughtful piece that asks good questions about and offers good counsel on what too esily becomes a problem.

I am forever learning how to surrender to His Will , maybe Gods grace will one day lead me there.
