Super star (I am blogging again!)

Hey blogging world!
I am semi-back for the week :)
School started out pretty rough and I didn't have time for ANYTHING. So I had to drop a few things in order to get myself on track. Sadly this blog was one of those things.
Another sad thing is that I love my disk drive that had ALL of my possible blog topics on it this week will be a 'winging it' of sorts.
I did so much and so little over my break in the blogging.

I just realized how much I hate blogging. As in just now right after that first paragraph.
I have nothing to say to the world. I am a slightly different person than I was several months ago. Different in that I don't feel the need to have thousands of people following me on twitter and reading my blog religiously.
Cutting to the chase I will blog this week because I put it into my random bag of things to do for the week. (I am on spring break so I put a bunch of things into a bag and when I can't decide what to do next I pick out of the bag. Blogging came out first.) If I decide I can't think of anything good to do with the blog I will stop.

So now to the short topic of today's blog. I am in the new Avengers trailer.

I am at 1:23 in the very from and center.
I flipped when I saw it at midnight and had to wake my sister up to show her. It is about one of the most awesome things in my life thus far.

Suddenly it was all incredibly worth it. The driving to Cleveland and back three times. Staying up for two nights and missing almost my entire second week of classes. Just being in the TRAILER made all of that seem like nothing.

On the flip side: I am currently seeing life in a new light. I can not live for the idea of being in a trailer that may or may not feature Robert Downey Jr. Or even for the hope of becoming a movie star some day. My life is far more than that. It needs to be more than that.
Not everyone can 'make it', whatever that means. But everyone can hold their life to a better, more deserving purpose. God.
I need to be more purposeful in living a life that reflects His presence in it.
If we spend our lives chasing and desiring all of the shiny things of this world we will never be fulfilled. However if we could just learn to rest in easy in the God that offers more than the glimmer of stardom we just might be able to fill our hearts and spirits with the things we need to truly be fulfilled.

This isn't to say having dreams of being in the movies is a horrific sinful blasphemy. It is just to point that these dreams can't be what get me out of bed in morning. My existence is not owed to the movies. It is owed to something far more complex and wonderful.

Create onward,
E.M.G.
