I saw a t-shirt today that said "write your own story". At first glance, I thought to myself that it was a pretty cool t-shirt. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't like it.
I am a strong believer in the power of story. We all have them. We all have the classic story elements in our lives. Every person we meet, every place we visit and every decision we make becomes a part of our story.
Sometimes, whether through a fault of our own or the fault of someone else, we have elements of our story that we would like to edit out. Parts of our story that are hard to deal with. Parts that break our hearts and bring us to our knees.
But it is during those times that I am thankful that each and every chapter in our lives is part of a much greater piece of work, with a much greater purpose than we could ever imagine.
Today, I am grateful beyond words for the God who knows the ending of my story. Who has it covered. Who can redeem it and mold it and rewrite the parts that need to be revised. Not for any other reason than that He loves me.
