Sovereign Hands

My life is a story. An inter-connected series of events, not just random chance, but purposeful. Combining the past, present, and future: all to see the big picture as God sees it. If only for a moment, to look back and see that God's sovereign hands have directed my life, even up to this moment, to prepare me for all the wonderful things He has purposed for me. Oh, to have eyes to see and ears to hear as God!

Filling up blank sheets of paper on the book that He has written out for me, all part of God's sovereign design.

My life is a story. God is the author. Jesus is the author, perfecter, and finisher.

The character (person in the story) does not shape the story, but rather the author shapes the character by the story.

"You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place Your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
You watched as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! " -Psalm 139: 4-6 , 15-18
