He is writing my story perfectly.

That is what I want to remember as this calendar year winds down and the new one begins.

As I’ve been reflecting on all that has happened in the last twelve months, this is the saying that keeps coming to my mind.

He is writing my story perfectly.

I haven’t liked everything He’s allowed to happen this year. I’ve actually quite hated a lot of it.

But even so, He has faithfully shown up in it all. Every single thing.

I can look back and see His goodness shining through the cracks of hurt, hardship, rejection, and despair. I can see the protection of His mighty hand over the things that I couldn’t yet understand. I can see the tiny seeds of big dreams growing from dark places.

Even the things I wouldn’t have chosen to be there, He has used for my good. Dare I say those things I wouldn’t have chosen are the very things He used the most?

This is the year that has marked a turning point in my life. The year where I discovered exactly who I want to be and exactly what God has called me to do. And I know that whatever storms are going to find me in the future (because yes, I know they’re coming) I can trust the Author who is penning my pages.

He is writing my story perfectly. And He is writing yours perfectly too, friend.

He always has been and He always will be.
