I’m A Rockstar Because…

[This is an image of Mark. He is a real rockstar. And I think I'm a rockstar for capturing this image.]

Most of you flocked over here to see what sort of egotistical nonsense this title’s about.
Suckas.
I want you to finish that sentence.
The other day my buddy John blogged a great post.
Is “blogged” even a verb?
Anyways.
He wrote on jealousy and who he is jealous of.
I made the cut.
The problem is that everyone reading that post knows as well as I do that John is actually the receiver of more “I wish I was him’s” than any of us combined.
So in the spirit of everyone constantly wishing they were someone else I tweeted this today…

Quit trying 2 B lk that guy. He’s just trying 2 B lk sum1 else 2. thr is more U in U than U’ll even know wht 2 do w/

If you don’t read in twitter dialect I simply said that you rock more than you think you do.
You honestly do.
You are smart, sexy, beautiful, witty people.
And now I’m asking you to get honest.
That thing that makes you better than him or her.
Tell us all.

You are a rockstar because…

Let's see I'll have to play the spiritual encouragement card:

I'm a rockstar because Jesus says so.

And so are you.

C'mon. You've Got Game.

http://www.russhutto.com Russ Hutto

Hehe. Let's see.

I'm a rockstar because I design sweet blog headers. Not blogs, not websites. Blog headers. It's my thing.

Wheee! Ok that was fun.

Thanks.

I'm a rockstar because I balance school, work, mommyhood, wifedom and friendships and make sure everyone feels special to me. Which is easily done because with that many things going on, the only people I spend time with are the ones that are special.

http://intensedebate.com/people/loswhit loswhit

Preach. That IS Rockstar

I'm a rockstar because I'm learning to hate myself a little bit less every day…only by the grace of God. Sounds odd, but this is the hardest thing for me to do.

http://intensedebate.com/people/loswhit loswhit

That would qualify as ultimate rockstar.

Jennifer

I'm also a rockstar because I love my church and my job. I have a great family and am proud to be WHO I am today…not just something I've accomplished.

I have big dreams…and I'm a rockstar for chasing those dreams.

I am a rockstar because I have an awesome wife, two awesome daughters and son, we are healthy, and I get to help lead worship in a band playing electric guitar… and I don't deserve any of it!

I am just a man trying to do my best, screwing up along the way, being forgiven and trying to keep moving forward.

I'm a rockstar, because as a thirty-something Mom of 3, living in the Midwestern burbs, I decided to start a new career – following a rather big, bold, audacious dream of being a singer/songwriter – and not to make a name for myself, but to point to the one whose name is above ALL names. I told God I was ready to use the gifts He gave me – and in that moment, I became more of who He created me to be. After comparing myself to others for too many years, thinking I wasn't good enough, worthy enough or smart enough, I let God have the final say about who I was/am … and I went for it.

I'm a rockstar because because at the age of 34 I picked up drum sticks for the first time and within 5 months I was playing drums in our worship band. This is my fourth year doing it and I love it.

And I'm a rockstar because regardless of all my faults, sins, mistakes, goofs, errors, and whatever else, I have a God that forgives me of all of that and loves me unconditionally.

I'm a rockstar because (aside from BEING an actual rockstar http://bit.ly/j4I9i ) I've been in a life of ministry for 25+ years with the love of my life and have 2 kids in love God, mom and dad and church. Blessed to lead teams of awesome creative people… a God success story!

Because for 30 years I was able to do what a lot of men would love to do, Be a college football coach. And I never saw how blessed I really was.

I am a rockstart because… I have chronic foot breath, and I'm okay with that.

I have a tendency to open my mouth WAY more often then my tendency to think first, so I'm known for creating awkward situations, being inappropriate at the wrong times, and pretty much always saying the wrong thing. BUT what comes with that is my ability to be blunt and honest to a fault, so people that want a real opinion can come to me for that. And though I could put it delicately… I just don't tend to lean that way. I'm okay with being the "harsh" or "brutally honest" one in order for someone else to grow. I'm strong. I can handle it.

… and that's why I'm a rockstar.

Ok, here's my best shot because quite honestly I don't feel like a rockstar…I dream of feeling that way, or better yet doing something of rockstar status but I don't feel like it…

I am a rockstar because my goal is of rockstar proportion : to make the church the most ridiculously creative place on the planet.

http://intensedebate.com/people/Amanda_Sims Amanda_Sims

That really does make you a rock star!

I'm a rockstar because of Whose I am and the One who enables me. On my own, I am worthless…wretched and poor (even if the world sees otherwise). Everything I do "well" is a direct result of Him.

I'm a rockstar because I LOVE what I do.

I talk to too many people & have too many friends that say "I hate my job." I don't want to hate my job – ever. If I ever hate my job, I'll find a new one that I love.

But leading worship & working with students is the best gig ever – at least so far!

I'm a rockstar because I'm learning that the terror I feel from trying something new or different or beyond my ability is actually something I have to run into, and not from.
