There are so many gifts that dwell within us. Some of us feel that if we're not under lights, or if we're not holding a mic or playing a great instrument, then our talents are not as attractive. I know this feeling all too well. Throughout my life, I'd catch myself regularly wishing I had other people's gifts. No, I didn't want to sing like others, and I didn't want to act like others. I didn't want to rap like others and I didn't want to write like others. BUT...I did however look at the people who had gifts that were opposite of mine, like...ORGANIZATION. Wow...now this is one gift that I desperately wish I had. If only God's most beautiful little angel could come down like some sort of Tinker Bell fairy to sprinkle me with dust sparkles to make me more organized!
I also wished to have the gift of being Mathematically smart! Lord, I'm speaking so honestly when I tell you that it was ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD that my high school math teacher let me graduate!
I remember him looking at me with this darling look of sympathy. I'm guessing he gave me the 70% grade just to let me go on with my life!
Honors English...failure math type of girl! That was me. God knows how to compensate. My husband has a Mathematics Degree from NC state! (Thank God! or else my poor children would have been doomed in the math classroom!)
The point is, Shenette Jones can not teach math, and Shenette Jones can not navigate through technology as swiftly as others, and Shenette Jones can not sit still for long periods of time, and Shenette Jones can not organize pots, pans, linen closets or dressers, but SHENETTE JONES CAN DO WHAT SHE WAS BORN TO DO!
SING, SPEAK, WRITE, DANCE , MOTIVATE!
So what about you? Find that amazingly creative thing that makes your wings take flight. Find the thing that brings you joy when you rise in the morning and the thing that keeps you from going to bed because you just can't stop doing it!! DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO.
