Growing up, many children watched cartoons and television shows that showed either animals, kids, or adults with amazing character qualities or superpowers. So it makes sense, that children will grow up wanting to possess those abilities and characteristics that they have been shown until they see other qualities and abilities that people possess around them in the real world.
As I was developing into a little person, I wanted the ability to heal myself. As I mentioned before I was sick all the time and I wanted nothing more than to regenerate healthy cells to create a healthier, stronger version of me. Luckily, Christ stepped in like a superhero and healed me of my ailments. Then I wanted nothing more than to be bold, strong, and unstoppable. I tried and at first, it felt uncomfortable so I abandoned the thought that I could possess that power. A few years later, something miraculous happened. I walked into a bold tongue and a strong and unstoppable presence. It was at this time that once again, God assisted me in adding to the superhero that I did not know I was becoming.
As I look around, there are qualities that I wanted to possess, that others may or may not have had around me. I have taken the time and practice to attach those qualities to the superhero I was becoming. Today, I am the Superhero that I watched on television and I possess those qualities that I have seen in others that I had admired and made them a part of the person that I am today.
Thank God, that He placed the role model, Jesus, and so many others in my path for me to learn from. It is okay to only take the good qualities and characteristics of others and leave the rest, as long as it is aligned with who one wishes to become.
