Illusions

Sometimes, life is made up of a million little illusions. Which in reality makes life one big illusion, right? 
Like, I pretend like I'm an amazing basketball player. A baller, if you will. 
Some pretend like they know everything, even when they don't. 
Then there are those that are actually GOOD at illusions, like Drew Worsham. In case you don't know who he is, check him out here: https://www.facebook.com/thedrewworsham

But I think one thing that every single one of us is good at, is performing the illusion that we're ok. 
I'm a pro at it. 
I'm a fake-it-til-I-make-it kind of girl.
I've spent of lot of time pretending. Covering up. Being an illusionist. 
It's my full time job. 

But on the flip side, illusions can always be solved, even if we think the Illusionist is too good to figure out. 
Proverbs 14:18 says "Foolish dreamers live in a world of illusion; wise realists plant their feet on the ground." 
Let's not be foolish. In a world full of foolery, we need something real to plant our feet to.


So I'm challenging myself to be real. 
With myself, with others, and with God.
Real in the Pinocchio-breaks-free-from-the-strings kind of real. 


And I'm challenging you to be real as well.  
With yourself, with others, with God. 

Pinocchio never sported the long nose or wooden look very well, and we don't either.
