I Don’t Want to Be a Gospel Singer

My life dream since I listened to my first record as a 6 year old kid was to be a gospel singer. Growing up, my fantasy was to buy a big ol’ bus and hit the road. Up until just this week, it has always remained my hope and dream to be a “gospel singer.”

What changed? Well, I’m so glad that you asked!

Observing all the comments I have read in various and sundry places on the Internet surrounding the marriage of Kathy Crabb has caused me to re-think this foolish dream of mine. Why would I want to subject my family or myself to such scrutiny and criticism? Why would I want people telling me what I should or shouldn’t do and what an awful person I am or whatever the case may be, when they really have no clue about me or my life or my personal walk with Christ, though many people would like to think that they do? I know we all have opinions, and its just human nature to be nosy and want to know everything and voice opinions. But, some people just have no clue where to draw the line.

So many people have appointed themselves the judge of all, when they just need to keep to themselves and keep their own house in order, and get a life. If there is a problem in my life, sure enough…God knows about it and He will take care of business! He doesn’t need everybody else’s thoughts and opinions about the subject. He’s run things since the beginning of time, and I think He knows what He’s doing.

I am not pointing fingers, as I too, have been judgmental in the past when I needed not to be. But, God has taught me some things through the years that have helped me see things differently than I used to.

So, with my thoughts lying on table, I think I’ll just stick mostly to singing at my own church…Lord knows the local church has enough issues to deal with than to go around singing everywhere else!
