Fame or Glory

When you become famous you get lots of attention, you are stalked and followed by everyone and their dog so they can get a photo with you or of you, so they can get your autograph and then sell it to make money of their own.  You have to have body guards for public events.  Your children are branded by your fame, and lead lives of public scorn, jest, and notice. 
Do I really want that for my family?  Heck NO!  Even though I chase fame, I really just want Glory.  The glory of God.  I enjoy leading a life of a nobody.  I enjoy introducing myself to people and no one really know who I am.  I enjoy leading a quiet life of love, happiness, and peace. 

My little moments of fame are  all I can handle.  You know may know me as the mom who can't control her children in a store.  As the mom who gets frustrated when her children choose to disobey her.  As the mom who looks pregnant even when she's not.  As the wife who is just now learning how to cook healthy meals for her family.  As the wife who hates to clean her house, but does so anyways.  As the woman who doesn't know how to use a curling iron, a flat iron, or a blow dryer.  As the woman who is just now learning how to apply makeup in a natural way.  As the woman who doesn't have confidence in herself, and so has never branched out to do the things she dreams of doing.

Does fame give you confidence?  I am willing to bet no.  If you don't believe in yourself, and if you don't feel like you have anything to offer then why would being famous help you out?  Being famous doesn't guarantee that you have something to offer the world or people in general.  But if you do feel like you have something to offer, shouldn't you start by having the desire to be the best you can be with those whom you love, and who love you?  Even though I'm not the perfect role model for a mother, wife, and woman I do have people who love me.  Even though I still don't think any of my talents and abilities God has given me are better than someone else's or really of importance, I do have talents, abilities, and skills that I secretly work on so I don't lose them. 
I mean there's tons of people who can write better than me, and have better grammar.  There are tons of people who are better artists, painters, muralists, and crafty people than me.  There are tons of people who can afford to be self employed or be working mothers than me.  There are tons of people who have learned to use their talents to better their part of the world.  And that's because they have confidence in themselves. 
So let me ask you, if you could do something because money wasn't an issue, because time wasn't an issue, because square footage wasn't an issue, because nothing was an issue...would you go for it?  Would you stop letting that mangy cat dash your dream bubbles to pieces, and go after your "dream"?  Do you want fame or glory?
