OUR STORY

The title for my blog address is quite simple. Christmas 2007 I received a gift from my husband; it was a journal and it was titled "I hope you dance." Know that it was that year before when we finally took a couple sessions of couples dance classes together. I had always wanted to do this. So this journal was to be "our story". We would take turns writing in it and when we are done we place it on the end table on the other side of the bed, thus indicating a new entry has been made and it's the next person's turn. We've had times when we faithfully wrote back and forth and other times where one of us just forgot for a while. Either way, we always pick it back up again. So much of our life these past couple of years is written in "our story".

God is the one who writes our story. Sometimes we even forget and think that our life story is "ours", not God's. I want to remember that God is the one writing my life story. If it is me writing the story I will miss our on the great miracles that God wants to do in my life. The miracle of Mary and the virgin birth - wow - God wants to do miracles in my life too. I realize today that I limit God. Big mistake. Lord, open my mind to see the limitless power that you have in my life, to let down the wall that I put up, thinking you will only go so far. Lord, there is no limit to what you can do and what you want to do in my life. May I reach for the skies, draw power and strength from you and see the endless possibilities with you leading the way. There is nothing that my God cannot do. When it looks impossible; it is then when we see the miracle.
