(A Short Story)
There once was is a girl named Abigail. She once was asked to play the part of Sophia Spaghetti in the Christmas play “A Star is Born.” In this delightful play, Sophia is a sophisticated and highly sought after actress who is asked to play the part of Mary in the Christmas play. Confused yet?
Sophia honestly thinks she is the star of the play – the Christmas play that is. Do you see where this might be a little bit of a problem? So for the duration of the play the rest of the cast and the befuddled director have to deal with this primadona and try to convince her to quit upstaging the baby Jesus, which of course no one can really do anyway. Sophia makes a fool of herself and everyone laughs. How ridiculous to believe you could be the star of any play in which Jesus plays a part.
And just this past weekend God sent a very special messenger, someone Abby respects and loves, to remind her to never sell herself out in order to get parts or “make it,” as he did (according to his own testimony) during his own stint in New York. He encouraged her instead to be a beautiful Christian actress who influences the world for God. To remain humble and let Jesus shine. Thank you Joe. It may be too late for Sophia, but Abby seems to be getting it.
Abigail is quite a young lady. I know how talented she is, I've seen it first hand. With such passion for life, she will be able to do whatever she puts her mind to. I just pray you can keep from losing yours while parenting her!
You have a beautiful daughter who will continue to do great things for God! 🙂
Abigail is my favorite actress. I will follow her career with joy…especially as she will do so as a Christian actress. I keep her close to my heart.
Isn't it wonderful when God places people in our path to encourage and teach us? Bless Joe for sharing his testimony with Abigail.
You have a beautiful daughter! Praying for God to guide and direct her as she pursues her career.
Kay, not only is your daughter stunningly beautiful on the outside, but blindingly beautiful on the inside for being so courageous to walk with God in an area that regularly sees itself persecuting anyone with an ounce of morals. You've done good, Mom!
