Writing my autobiography would begin with ‘the ups and downs of life’. There have been so many ups and downs throughout my life that the title could be ‘YoYo’. The thing is some of what I thought were ups actually were downs and vice versa. Only God knows what will be and not be. My job is to keep my eyes fixed on Him so life is a little easier. A lot of times in my life that I considered bad turned out to be good for me in the long run. The same is true for those times I considered good and in actuality they were not good for me at all. Those times were when I was the captain of my ship instead of allowing God to be. Shipwrecked would be another good title for my autobiography because when God is not the captain I am sure to shipwreck. If not for His mercy and grace my entire life would be a mess.
As I have gotten older and acquired a little more wisdom I tend to allow God to be in charge more. A little less yo-yoing and a little more plateaus. There are still times when I yank the reigns back and what follows is generally a wreck. But, praise God for His mercy, grace and love for me I’m still in the race. A little roughed up now and then, but still in the race. He is still teaching me.
