Wishing for Wings
25 Sep
I have spent most of my teenage and adult years resenting the fact that I am a “jack of all trades, master of none.” I can do many things well, but I am not exceptional at one particlar thing (like Mark is with music).
I have been tormented at the thought that I would always be someone’s assistant. Always busying myself with helping others accomplish THEIR dreams and not my own. Stroking the egos and money that make up the corporate world. There was a quote on the House season opener that frightened me to my core:
I would rather live among the birds than waste it wishing I had wings.
Is this true of me? Am I OK with just living among the birds and never living for myself. Never chasing my own dreams…the big, fat, undeniable answer is NO.
Maybe being a jack of all trades means that I will be good at starting my own business someday or good at coming up with something different to blog everyday – HA! For now I’ll embrace the fact that I’m a jack of all trades.
But listen up cruel world: JudiFree is here to stay and she has wings…huge, purple, pink, and sequin studded wings!

Go on with your winged self and fly! FLY with your multi colored shiny things!!
I’m guessing, but if you ask some of your family or friends, they would tell you that you have already set flight and soaring with the eagles. Your just to busy looking up to see where you might be going, and haven’t taken the time to look down to enjoy the view of accomplishments.
I think of the words of the missionary who said: “Reaching out for Christ….who has so wondrously reached out for me. This is not my story; it is God’s…..and I am just a small part of it….”
You wings are pretty : )
