Place 1

This was going to two places. The first one is this, POTENTIAL.

Every girl has great potential deep inside of her. If you are going to be a singer, you already have the gift inside of you. If you are going to be an actress, a leader, a speaker, a writer.......you already have it going inside of you.

The difference,in my opinion, is that, those people that we look up to as "celebrities" and "stars" are just doing the same things that we are doing, only that they are doing them in the limelight, infront of many people. And because of their expertise and having done it for a long time, they are therefore known by many people, and have indeed grown a base and a wide network of relationships, that increase their "getting known."

I'd say, that if you do have the potential, use it where you are. You would be doing the exact same thing if you were any of those "stars." In my view, the difference the scale in which we do it. I may sing infront of a hundred people, someone else may sing infront of a thousand. But we are both singing. I suppose that with time, we will get more and more ready to sing infront of many more people. And that the kind of character we should have for that will be developed over time.

If we are faithful in our "small" portions, then God will surely entrust us with larger portions. And needless to say, we will grow in our confidence day by day. Although we all want to "get there" we definitely wouldn't want to be thrown infront of a thousand people to sing a solo....we'd definitely want to be prepared with, you know, say a band, a few back-up singers...

What am I saying? You've already got it there inside of you, dear girl. Be faithful where you're at, it's your preparation for where you want to be. Go you, Amazing Girl!!!
