For years I tried writing my own fairy tale-ish love story. I dreamed up my own happily ever after. I added my own princely character. But before long the plot and the climax fell apart, leaving me frustrated and heartbroken! I put my pencil down in devestastion and wondered what it would be like if God wrote my love story. I remember as if it were yesterday, the day I finally gave my pencil over to God and asked Him to become the Author. It was in that moment when I let all my expectations go, that God was able to begin the most beautiful story!
You see, sometimes we have to let go of our dreams, so God can have His perfect way. Not that dreams or standards are wrong but sometimes we limit God.
For years I had told God what I wanted and how I thought my story should go. But my ways were not His ways nor my thoughts His thoughts. I could have never dreamed up all He had in store for me and all the happiness that would be involved.
As a young girl, my mom had told me stories of how she knew from the first time she laid eyes on my dad that this was the man she would marry. I dreamed of that! I wanted to experience the undeniable feeling of Love at First sight. I had no idea that when I allowed God to have the pencil and write in the main character of my story, that He would be so creative to add that dream into my story! Each detail and each word had been precise and perfect. God has written each chapter beautifully.
Everyone has their own story! Each chapter is different and handwritten by God. Never compare! Cherish your unique and original best seller!
Maybe your story did not begin with God, it's never too late to give Him the pencil!
Maybe your love story had not started and you are impatiently waiting for it to begin! May I encourage you to wait on God. His timing is workout error!!
I am now several chapters into my love story and I'm so thankful that I finally quit erasing and rewriting my own story and trusted God to write a best seller that would last a life time.
Thank you Lee for a wonderful 6 years and for being the man of my dreams. Only God could have put our story together! I am so blessed and look forward to everything God has in store for our little family. Happy Anniversary!
