Pencils

I recently found two quotes from Mother Teresa regarding pencils and I think they have a lot of merit.

"We are all pencils in the hand of God." --Mother Teresa

"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." --Mother Teresa

In my quest to be a writer, I like the idea of God being the ultimate writer. Sometimes I wish God’s pencil came with a big eraser for when I make mistakes!

So, my question would be, what is God writing with me? God has written me into the life I know, into the lives of people I know, and I have a feeling God isn’t done writing yet.

When I look back on life as it has transpired over the years, there are so many things that I would never think to write or think would be part of my story. There are things that I wish I could take an eraser to but I know that would change the story in a way that wouldn’t be my own.

What will God write into my future? Will there be a husband or children? Will there be a career at a major newspaper or magazine? :)(I hope!) Will God write me into a song that will be sung in future generations?

All I know for sure is I'm glad God has that pencil. I don't know where I'd be or what corner I'd end up writing myself into if I were totally in charge.

Let the writing continue!
