Not letting Fame go to My Head or Stepping back to re-evaluate

Hi, Yes....that's my smiling face in front of the camera

I've been through a lot these past two years with starting up the society and before that putting together the "Images of America-Collingdale Borough book. There are some days I just have to stand back and marvel at how much I've grown as a person. I know it's not me or my own strength that has brought me here. I know that God does have a purpose for me to fulfill.

Yes, I'm still in dire straits in some ways. I've been here so long that sometimes it feels normal. Other times I almost feel like I'm struggling in a thick quagmire of mud up to my ankles not knowing if my next steps will be fatal. That's almost what fame can do to you if you're not careful. Even the rich and famous can fall in those quagmires....not that I'm that at all. I'm just an ordinary person trying to do extraordinary things in my community.

Yes, sometimes I have to step back and re-evaluate where I'm going. I have to take a deep breath, stop stressing about things I can't do anything about and move forward in the path. I know I can't do this alone. No man is an island. I have to remind myself that God is in control. Only then can I step forward and rejoice in what he's doing in my life.
