SS # 55: Secret Identity

Deep inside me, somewhere it is hidden. It shows in flashes, little by little. My secret identity. I have to hide it. But it breaks out from inside me, all the longing, just wanting to tear away...!
Yesterday I saw the news. They were showing a man. He hit the ball so hard that it flew over the stadium. Later he was the Man of the Match. In the cricket World Cup.
I imagined myself: hitting that ball. My speech, oh, how wonderful it would be! What a hero I would be! But...

Before that there was a singer on TV. She was singing her heart out. Her dress had shiny, sparkly, sequins on it. Everyone loved her.
I imagined myself dancing that routine, singing that song. My hips would move so gracefully! But...
Way, way, before they showed a man. He was fighting near the border. He was fighting for what he believed in.
I dreamt of doing that. Of showing the world that I cared. I would go to the ends of the earth to show that. But...

But I have a family to feed, and children to raise.

I can really identify with this. I think the same way at times. But then I realize that God has me right where He wants me and I am doing something important. Maybe this one child I'm feeding will do what it is I dream about doing. Or, possibly, in 3 years when he's gone and feeding himself I'll get to do it.
