I was going to write something profound about my life and especially recent events in my Life Story, however I found something that talks about how much better it will be if we let God write our life story. If we yield to this though and listen to Him we are in for an exhilarating ride. Enjoy and be blessed my RP Family.

There Is Something Liberating About Letting God Write Your Story
There is something comforting about letting God handle your difficulties; the things you can’t control and the things that need a miracle. When you leave it all up to him and when you trust that somehow he will get you through it.
There is something reassuring about letting God handle the consequences; that’s why you take risks, that’s why you try, that’s why you fail and that is why you make mistakes. There is something fearless about letting God help you overcome your fears and there is something safe in walking into the unknown when you have enough faith.
There is something peaceful about loneliness when you know God is with you, when you know he sees what no one sees, when you believe he understands what you can’t explain and when you trust that he is listening to the words you’re not saying.
At the end of the day everything is written by the hands of God. He is the only one who can change your story, erase it and rewrite it, keep it exactly like it’s supposed to be or write miracles in your destiny because of how much you’ve prayed for them.
No matter how many times we punch the wall or try so hard to avoid something, if God wants it in our story, it will happen and it will be part of it.
Why are some stories easier than others? Why are some stories better than others? Why are all stories not equally fair?
Because simply God gives everyone what they can handle and sometimes we think we can handle so much more than what we have but God knows that we can’t. Handling too much or getting everything you ever asked for can sometimes destroy you instead of building you up.
And sometimes you get everything you want and then it gets taken away from you and this is also part of your story.
Your story is all about winning and losing, destruction and rebirth, pain and joy, consistency and change, faith and disbelief, safety and fear.
Your story can drive you crazy if you’re too attached to it and if you’re constantly questioning it and trying to change it.
I think part of the reason your story is so crazy is that God wants you to know that there is nothing constant except for him. That there is no one better to lean on and trust except for him, that there is no one who will bring you what you want except for him and there is no one who can rewrite your destiny except for him.
There is something liberating about handing the pen to God and letting him do his work.

I pray that you and I do our best to love those around us in remembrance that we show our love to God by how treat others, my friend and brother-in-Christ CPT Enrique M..
I pray that we who are YOUR own adopted children are each becoming more outwardly focused and selfless as we interact with other people. Help us dear God to have eyes to see and ears to hear sincere needs and cries for help which may not be vocalized.
Lead us dear God to bless those in need with our time, talents and treasure as applicable. Use those of us who are prayer warriors to intercede. Bring people and situations to the mind of each.
I pray that each and every one who reads this prayer will be joyful and that we will each be a pleasure to be with. Give us smile lines as we age and remove all frown lines from our countenance.
I pray my LORD that each of us will live our lives in such a way as to bring honor to YOU all of our days.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
