Today, marks a new beginning and a new chapter in this story. Beginning this journey has not been a simple task. I am not a writer, nor am I an author by any means; yet here I am writing a blog about how God as called me to Hand Over the Pen of my life and entrust it to Him.
For some the ideas and comments I might make may seem a little to far-fetched and even crazy speaking, but to a few these ideas and beliefs may be the answers to what you are searching for. I am no expert when it comes to this area in life, I can hardly say I am an expert of it in my own life. However, I do hope that through this blog, somewhere I can share with others about what it truly means to Hand Over the Pen and let God take full and complete control of life's journeys.
I have always grown up in a Christian household. My mom was raised Catholic and my dad Baptist. Every Sunday I went with my mom and two brothers to Church and Sunday School. In the summertime I would go with my family to attend Vacation Bible School. I learned scripture, received the sacraments of the Catholic Church (ex: Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, etc...), and truly believed that Jesus Christ was my Lord and Savior. As I entered my high school years, I began to become involved in the Life Teen Youth program of my church. I grew to enjoy spending time with my Christian friends on retreats and during the week. I was living out my faith in Christ, so I was being a good Christian right? As I neared the end of my high school years I began to plan for college and my future. God was right there along side me during this whole time, but I never consulted with Him what He felt was best for me. Still I went to a good college in Middle Georgia, met some good friends, helped build up the Campus Catholics Program within the college community, and fulfilled my dreams of becoming an educator. This was the way life was supposed to be....wasn't it?
So why should I choose now, many years later to Hand Over the Pen to Christ. I really do not know. I have always trusted that God knows what is best for me, but to have Him script my life story, even a love story seems a bit unnerving. God has a plan for all of us. For some He reveals that plan sooner than others. We must trust in his never ending love and mercy for us.
I do not know what makes my story different from all the other stories out there. I know there are many young Christian girls who have, at different times of their lives, decided to turn their lives over to Christ and allow Him to write their life and love stories. God works amazing blessing in our lives through our own actions and the actions of others. I can't begin to see where He plans to lead me on this journey. I know the journey will not be easy, and I know it will have its ups and downs. But with Christ by my side I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -- Philippians 4:13.
