Startastic thought for the day...
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Never miss an issue of StarChild...

A Thankful Dissertation...
When I was little my mother made sure I had it all. I was never wanting, never in lack. I can remember her taking me on shopping sprees to Lord and Taylor and Marshall Field's and I would sit in the car, angry because I WANTED to go to "Jew Town" and shop there. I didn't understand then why I couldn't dress like "everybody else". Shop where "everybody else" was shopping. Of course back then I didn't understand that "everybody else" was shopping there because they had to, not because they wanted to. But I was a kid. I didn't know.
Now that I'm older, however, my heart is lamenting on the fact that I am spoiled. It's not something I choose to be, but it's the way I was raised. I never had to make my bed as a kid, my mom did that. I never had to wash or iron my clothes, my mom did that. Didn't even really know how to cook, outside of a kick a** grilled cheese sandwich, because my mom always hooked me up. Even as an adult when I was living with her after my divorce, she still catered to the kid in me, loving me but at the same time inadvertently handicapping me. She's a good mother though, and this is how she mothers. And I love her for that...
So now at ______ years of age, though I am used to saying thank you at all the right moments, I realize that "thank you" for me, is more of a feeling than a state of being. I'm real enough to admit that though I say thank you for things, I feel a sense of entitlement. So the thank you doesn't come from my heart, but rather from my head. And I'm wise enough to know that there is nothing I can do to change this. To transform this thing about me. People can tune their behavior, but the fixing of iniquity can only be orchestrated by God. The sad part though, is many people are third-eye blind and refuse to see and identify their heart's iniquity. The only way to keep it real is to BE real. And from day one on my journey with Him, that is all I have been able to be. I gave God the worst of me, and vowed to be on the path to the best of me. And He has faithfully allowed me to make mistakes, to fall down, get hurt at times, and cry when necessary.
I used to beat myself up when I fell off the beaten "God-driven" path. But when I saw that I dwelled in God's hand, and that NOTHING could take me from that place, I realized that sometimes being "lost" was more like going to far up God's pinky, or getting kinda close to the thumb. I wasn't in the PALM where I was SUPPOSED to be, but at the end of the day, if I was still in His hand? Then I'm still right where I am supposed to be.
I say all of this to say, there is FREEDOM in Christ. Recognize where you are, but take the time to be real about WHO you are. The things that have gotten you this far THUS far...might just be coming to an end. But the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. If He has created you special, you are SPECIAL for a reason. Seek Him to find out what to do with those blessings that dwell within you.
The year 2010 will bring those in His will to a place of perfect completion. You still got a little bit of time to do some soul searching so that the new year can bring about a new and IMPROVED you!
Be well, be peace, be startastic.

I love the song, I've been singing it for days. Particularly the part that says, "You can leave whenever you want out..." (so true). But I digress. I love the feel of the video, how unaffected ScarJo looks and how effortlessly she delivers her lyrics. Overall? Cool song.

Lyrics:
Right Now To The Way We Were
So In Love But Life
Soon Brings Change
Through Ones Eyes
He Cried Tears For Me
But By His Side
I Can No Longer Be
We Used To Talk All Night
Of Different Things, But U,
U Didnt Hear Me Cry
Our Love Is Ending
Somewhere Between The Lies
This Sadness I Could No Longer Hide
Cuz It Was You who brought The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was You
And So My Love Goodbye
I'll Miss You So You've Though Gone
But Leaves Do Change
As Time Goes On
And Though We Parted In The Ends
For All The Time Spent In Love

I Thank You
Cuz It Was You who brought The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was...
You Who Never Spoke Your Feelings
So Many Times I Tried To Tell You
That You Were Losing Me
But You Never Tried To Make Things Better
But You Didnt Choose To Seeeee My Pain
Now I've Got One Thing Left To Say
It Was You
Cuz It Was You who brought The Sunlight
Back In My Life It Was You
Who Promised Me Forever
That Things Would Be Right
It Was You Who Made Me Cry,
Now To You I Say Goodbye
Through The Lies And The Truth
It Was You
(Enough said)
