Have you ever wondered what your autobiography would read like? Would it make it to Oprah's Book Club? To whom would you dedicate your book? Who would you include on your thank you page? Who would write the preface or foreword? Is your life so interesting and impactful that the Motion Picture Association and Hollywood would take interest? Which high profile actor or actress would play you? Who would play your spouse, best friend, children, parents?
In some narcissistic way, I have thought about this. My autobiography would be dedicated to the Glory of God and to my paternal grandparents and my mother. I have not given too much thought about who would write the preface and foreword. However, Derek Luke would be the actor to reinact my life.
We all have a story. We've all had mountain top and valley low moments. But thanks be to God, that someone was there to encourage us. Some of us maybe even had to encourage ourselves. Sometimes we may appear to be "ballin' and shot callin" in the eyes of our friends. We may appear that we have it going on, but may be at our breaking point. In all of this, never be apologetic to anyone for the blessings that you have recieved in life. Always be thankful and appreciative for them. Remember your source because it didn't have to be this way.
Most people see our glory, but they don't know the whole story. In other words, they did not see the low points, they didn't see the struggle. Congratulations! You made it through. The challenge for today is to manifest the glory of the Almighty, as you pen your story.
Peace,
Karsten
