I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. Philippians 4:11b,12 NLT

Some would say that I was slightly obsessed, others borderline crazy. I liked to say it was a healthy admiration. Who was I kidding? I had a major crush with a girl on TV. Her name is Beverley Mitchell from the show 7th Heaven. If you ever watched the series she was the middle sister Lucy. Ever since I first saw her while show surfing it was more than the channels that were skipping. So, you can imagine how excited I was when a friend told me there was a cruise boat leaving from California with an opportunity to meet and hang out with her! 

I started working on what I would say and how I would act. I had to make sure I didn’t seem too weird or stumble over my words. I knew I had to some how some way make her seem to be just another person and in the short period of time find a way for her to be intrigued by me. This might be harder than I thought. All my thoughts and excitement continued to build until I looked at the calendar. That was the same weekend I was already committed to speaking at a youth rally! Why!

I was on cloud nine one minute and buried six feet under the next. In my self inflicted depression I started contemplating life in general. What if I were famous? What if I had people who wanted to know me or be with me? That would be the life! The more I thought about it the more I realized that while I wasn’t a movie star or the starting shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, God has certainly blessed me with some amazing things. Take a moment and be thankful for what you do have. You may not be rich and famous to your friends and classmates, but to God, you’re a Rockstar.
