Who's writing your story???

Working my way through Donald Miller's book "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years", and once again I find myself inspired. He got me to thinking about my life as a story and challenged me to let the true Author do the writing. Man have I messed up so many things through the years. Usually by trying to wrestle the pen from Him and do the writing myself. He brings (or allows) conflict and I respond by writing in anger, resentment, rage and all the rest while He intended to write in love, grace, peace, forgiveness, and the JOY of fellowship with His Spirit. But isn't it so difficult to let someone else do the driving? Difficult to let go of control and admit that you haven't done a very good job being "in charge"? It makes me think of a young man I met a year or so ago who said he believed the church should operate more like a commune and so he was training to be the leader of a commune. Now, I don't know if you are as cynical as I am but that statement made me laugh. What a strange thing to plan your life around...being the leader of a commune. Ironic,for sure. Arrogant. And really really weird. But not much different than my desire to be in control of my story simply because the Author has an irritating way of demanding his character be humble, loving, quiet. So, what do I do? I trust in the character of the Author. Trust in His unconditional love for me, his character. And if I trust, truly trust His Goodness... I YIELD. And yielding means making those phone calls, praying for those He prompted me to pray for, holding my tongue for His glory (people like Billy Graham use their tongues for His glory but in my case, holding it brings Him glory..ha) Fill me, mold me, use me,all for YOU. Write Your story for me, for You know better than I.
