My life story written in pen.

Staring down at a peice of notebook paper with writing. The paper is filled with marked out words. My eyes scan continuously gaze over every word. Why are they so familiar? Then I look at the title Life Story by: God.

I hear it a lot, God's writing your life story. I firmly believe in the statement. If I were to read my life story from a peice of notebook paper I believe it would look like what I described in the first paragraph. To me it would be like reading one of my 7th grade essay rough drafts, alot of mark throughs, errors, and in desperate need of improvement. Isn't that like life though?

As humans, we are prone to make mistakes and I myself make a lot of them. Whether it be as simple as just tripping down the stairs, or a more consequence worthy not shutting my mouth before I say something that may not be music to my parent's or other peoples ears. My mistakes are the sentences that get marked out, because Jesus went to the cross for my slip ups even though I am not worthy of his forgiveness. His Love is incomprehensible and there isn't one word to descibe it. I am unworthy of his never ending love and yet he takes those mistakes and marks them out. I am forgiven.

The side notes that I became familiar with when I first got into writing essays are like the warning signs, or the notes that I make after I have made a mistake. They are my notes to tell me that when I reach the same kind of obstacle again, don't make the same mistake. It's God telling me, this is what to do next time before you make the same mistake. Remember these notes and embed them deep into your brain.

My desperate need of improvement is me starting on a new sheet of paper. For God, it's like him starting a new paragraph.

It's my job to start over and improve as I continue facing reality in itself.

What can I say? It's my life and I will make mistakes. But I always make sure that through those mistakes I learn something, and I try to improve.
