Perhaps a moment to explain the blog's title...

I was excited to start a blog. My husband uses his to share deep thoughts about topics that come up in his life. I would like to do the same- although I swim in a much shallower end of the thought pool most of the time. I followed a link from his postings to start my own. I boldly typed in my information and clicked continue and then came up short. It wanted a name for my blog...at first this seemed like an easy enough task- but after a half an hour of the dance of type a few letters/ delete a few letters- I paused and considered.
A title says a lot about a person, a position, a work, etc. Is it BOLD or subtle? Is it funny or does it take itself seriously? Is it a witty word play or is it straight and to the point? And then what am I? What do I want the title to say about me? Who do I want to read it? Comment on it? Do I really have anything to say worthy of asking people to do either of those things? And if so, what?
So I sat and thought.........what do I want to share? And in the end I want to share my faith, my Lord, my Savior, and how that interacts with my life. I didn't chase stardom- although I thought about it at one time in my life. When I chose not to do so I came home after college to regroup and God gave me a new calling- Him. He reached down and plucked me out of an eternity of selfishness and hell. And then I traded starlight for moonlight. I no longer wanted to be my own star (at least when my focus was right) I wanted to be the moon who reflects the sun or in my life the Son- Jesus Christ. I fail to do this daily and yet His love for me has not changed or diminished. I know that for some they will think me a fool. Although for others- they thought me a fool for ever wanting to be a star in the first place. But I am content knowing that I traded starlight that would have in the end burned out it's light for the Son whose light is eternal.
Thank you for reading my awkward beginning (just for the record the word awkward looks just like what it means). If you are gracious enough to return for other posts- I thank you. If you read only this one- I thank you. If you don't then- you will never know what I would have said.
Please feel free to leave posts- keep the rudeness and crudeness to a minimum. Thank you.
Love in Christ- ChattyChicky
