The Story Behind "No Spotlight Needed"

"No Spotlight Needed"

I have attempted to start blogs before and I've gone through dozens of names. This time though, it's different. A quick History:

I like to think I'm not too much of an attention hog. However, being a dancer, over the years I learned to love the spotlight. It's not something I developed, it's a part of my personality that was brought to the surface. Many times, my actions or lack of action was due to how I thought it would look to other people. Everything  I did was to make people like me. I didn't tell jokes to make people laugh, I did it to make people think I was funny. I'm ashamed of it, but often when I talked about Christ is was so people would think I was a good Christian. In all reality, I was drowning every day in doubt and fear.

Recently, I have realized how wrong this attitude is. My life should be focused on my relationship with Christ and what He thinks of me alone.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my time in the spotlight. But I don't need it.
Those who Shine from within, don't need a spotlight. And when all the glitter fades, there will still be stardust in her veins.
I also love quotes. This is one of my favorites and the inspiration for my blog name. Because, this time, I'm not writing to become internet famous or anything, I just need a place to get my thoughts and feelings out. If I don't, I just might go crazy.

Sincerely,
Cait
