Storybook

I think a lot about what my story will be. Everyone has one yet finding it can be really difficult. The kind of story you want to tell your children when you have them is the story I mean. With every day you are in fact a writer so then which story do we tell? It can be a story of overcoming life's obstacles or one of defeat giving up dreams and opportunities through your life. This last year has been really difficult for me. I've had a friend pass on and a relationship that meant a lot to me end. I quit college for a semester and spent time dealing with crippling anorexia and depression. After all of this I can't help but feel that God has more for me than hurt and sadness. He has saved my life on more than one occasion and in more than one way but why. I have little to offer. I have no money to give to the poor,  no degree to help people with through a job, and I have no one to support or support me. What can I do is a question I ask myself daily. The thing is God uses the least likely of people. Moses was no public speaker and he lead God's people through the desert. Joseph was the youngest kid and after becoming a jailbird and a slave he was put second in command of Egypt. David, Mary, Ruth, Paul, and countless others were chosen out of some misfortune or odd circumstance. In the story planned for me I can't help but feel that God will overcome my dragons. Even though I can't fight circumstances on my own God slays them in my place for His will. What better knight is there than God. That is the story I want my kids to hear. Not one of my own victories but the one of God in my life. Nothing else is really important.
