In my younger years, I dreamt of being someone short of famous, whether it be an Olympian gymnast, a broadway singer or a professional dancer. Every once in a while I'd think, "If only I had done this or that, life could have been smooth sailing". But would it really? While there is nothing wrong with those professions should God will them, I think that it was not God's will for me. I might have missed His call to be His devoted child. And worse, I could have become so vain and lost my soul completely.
Instead, He chose me to be a small ordinary flower in the field, performing small acts with great love using the example of His Beloved Little Flower, Therese of Lisieux. (To many of you, Therese needs no introduction. In case you don't know her, make a point of getting yourself acquainted. )
Winning a gold medal sure could have been grand, but nothing is more grand than the treasure of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
