The Mystery Of My History

Who am I?
Where am I going?
What am I to do?

One of the clearest indications of a flawed life story is its failure to give one the sense of purpose and conviction necessary to live life with an acceptable degree of optimism and resolve. A failed story no longer encourages the kind of life you feel it is important to live. Daniel Taylor

A Story yet to be Finished by Toni

The entire sky is white and the wind blows cold.
Bare-branched trees reach toward the heavens.

I sit. Contemplative. Introspective.
Seeking Hope and a Reason.

Pain, Joy, Hurt, Suffering, Grace, Loss
saturate the pages of my life.
Characters, dialogue, plots
that I cannot control overwhelm me.

The Author whispers softly to me,
"Your Hope is in that you are a story yet to be finished.
"Even more tenderly He spoke,
"I know you fully. I love you deeply."?

I rest. I am still. I experience Peace.

My heart says, "I know my Author
but I cannot control Him.
But I can wrestle with Him.
He can be trusted.

"I am a story yet to be finished.
I do not know about tomorrow,
but for the moment I understand.

"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery." H. G. Wells

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
