Fame
When I was a little girl, like other little girls, I craved Fame. As a child I modeled clothes for church fundraisers. And, sold Girl Scout Cookies, but no Fame. I even became a Candy Striper (one who volunteers to work in hospitals), but this did not yield Fame. A few years later I was writing verses for greeting cards and my friends said it was quite good. I went in to business for the first time, but still no Fame. At a later period in my life I took classes to be a Graphic Artist and graduated - A Little Fame. Then, a period came where I started to write and I believed I could write well enough to become a Famous writer. And although I sold some of my creations, the Fame that I craved had not materialized.
At this time in my life I found something that was greater than my cravings. It was God. Now, I don't crave Fame 'cause I don't need to be a star when I am a Masterpiece and a Star for Him.
If you have cravings or ambitions or just want Fame, ask God how you are to be. This will bring you to: FAITH, ALMIGHTY, MERCY AND ETERNITY.
