I just watched a vid posted on Christine Dente's FB profile of her and Scott (her husband - together Out of the Grey for those who don't know) playing and singing an acoustic version of one of their songs. Just the two of them infront of a computer (certainly a mac) with her incredible voice and Scott doing his thing on guitar. - I say I can play guitar until I see someone like that do what they do. I own a guitar upon which I can play chords and some notes; but what he does is PLAY guitar. - I would love to be able to do what he does; but it isn't the case.
I love to see people do exactly what they were made by God to do. Clearly Scott is meant to play and Christine sing; God's plan for me is different. While I love to play and sing, I love more to teach. I'm better at it. I feel more comfortable in that area; but I still find myself watching and listening to people like Out of the Grey (of whom I've been a fan for years) and being terribly envious of their ability.
Maybe one day I'll be content to be who God has made me and enjoy and celebrate my brothers and sisters and their gifts and talents without envy. Maybe one day I'll get to the place where I can quote another artist who I envy, Wes King, and "accept who you are but keep striving to become that which you've been declared."
