Life is often likened to a story. I imagine you can recall saying or thinking along these lines. Yet, I have realized it is not a sound analogy. As I compared a standard volume with the life God created for me, I discovered our stories follow a unique and unprecedented writing process… 

The Authour, a talented and creative Fellow, has the story already in His head, like all experienced writers. Planned exact to every detail, every interaction, from the type of oatmeal in one’s breakfast bowl to the meaningful relationship sparked junior year. However, this book is not your ordinary novel, thriller, mystery, or romance. Not only is it a blend of nearly every genre imaginable, this script is written in such a fashion where the reader can only flip ahead to the next three or four pages. The rest remains blank. It does not lay white and unmarked by letters unintentionally or accidentally, but rather to hold the reader’s attention. To keep the reader focused on the Authour, dependent on His continued revelation of story. Still, there is another unique characteristic about this book. If one skips to the end, there they will find a completion of the story. The finale does not include details of the interim, nor of the adventures, trials, relationships, or happenings that are held in the middle pages. Rather, it ends with the character going on to live in a beautiful haven with the Authour, free from hardships, tears, and pain, "happily ever after." 

A country artist once sang a song that went, “Life is like a book with the end ripped out.” 

Life is certainly like a book, but only the middle is uncertain; only the middle requires trust and reliance upon the Authour. At any moment, you can be assured of how the story is going to end.
