Okay so I know I haven't posted in a while...trust me that has been very frustrating. It’s hard to find time to sit and write, when I struggle to find time to sit and think. But I had the opportunity to do an assignment in my Spiritual Formations class, which forced me to write one of the shortest autobiographies I have written. I thought I would share...
Guidelines: 7 sentences, each beginning with the following phrases:
- "Once upon a time..."
- "And every day..."
- " Until one day..."
- "because of that"
- "and because of that"
- "until finally"
- "and ever since then"
The story picks up about a year and a half ago...
Once upon a time there was a girl who thought she had life pretty much figured, she knew what she wanted. And every day she worked towards achieving the desires she thought where in her heart. Until one day she realized she no longer knew what desires her heart held. Because of that she asked God to reveal the true desires of her heart. And because of that act of surrender, God began to change her entire life, redirecting her path towards people and places she never imagined she'd encounter. Until finally she began to understand and embrace the new desires as ones which God created for her, trusting Him to lead instead of figuring it out on her own. And ever since then, she's found excitement in the unknown and peace in being known by the One who has given her direction and purpose.
Say that!
