Simple Goals

Posted on June 29, 2012by apronheadlilly

I had simple goals as a child:
I only wanted to be famous and change the world.
Now,
I realize with any and all accomplishments, my real goal should have been to change myself—
or at least place my life in a position to be changed.
What good is a song,
a poem,
a story,
a photograph, even if it gets recognition,
if the singer,
the poet,
the writer,
the photographer
wears the same old shabby faith of yesterday?
I have simple goals as an adult:
I only want to be changed into the child God wants me to be.
