And this book is still being written, by the most perfect author imaginable. Someday He will write the final page and my book will come to an end, but for now I must learn to remember, while I think I know the best storyline for myself, that the author has an even better one for me. His version will have plenty of plot twists, but what good story doesn't have them? The chapter called "High School" will be over very soon, and I cannot wait to see what the author has planned for me next.

Myself
I just so happen to be very much like one of my favorite things in the world: a book. Many people pass by a book without so much as a second glance; very few take the time to pick it up and read it, and even fewer truly understand what the book is about. Sometimes I am open, and sometimes I am closed, but a closer inspection is always necessary to fully understand my story. Some parts are humorous, some parts are sad, some parts are boring, or scary, or weird, or joyful, but every line contributes to the tale of who I am. This book contains knowledge and wisdom and beautiful truths, but the protagonist is not always perfect. And sure, there might be some scuffs on my cover and some creases in my pages, but all that means to me is that my story has been well loved by some, and has become all the better for the next person who cares to see what's inside.

I LOVE that you compared yourself to a book Hannah. I'm still just getting to know you, but I know enough already to know that that is so YOU. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat delving into the different layers of this image-- the hidden worth, the various elements of the plot, the imperfect protagonist, the profound ideas contained, the scars of love, the perfect Author. You effective discussed each one to show us that much more visibly who you are, and what you have to offer.
I appreciate you trust in Him, and your recognition that every word matters: every word contributes towards who you are, and what you will become. What a great thought to start this intense literary year on. :)

Hannah, of course you would be a book! xD It simply would have been wrong if your analogy had been of anything else; this just fits you so well. I can relate to the part where one might resist the author's superior plans for the subsequent pages of the story. However, I know that you will always strive for God's Will, and in the end you will be following the plot He has written for you (that is, if you aren't already ;) ). Love ya! This was a great analogy.
ReplyDeleteSo obviously this is the most perfect analogy for who you are... but you already know since you wrote this brilliant bloggy blog. You are definitely living a very well written story. The fact that the protagonist is perhaps not completely perfect and maybe even a little bit scuffed only makes the story more authentic, interesting, and absolutely worth reading.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote this in a poetic way Hannah, like it really had this poetic sound to it. I love your story Hannah and I am glad to be a part of it. The funny thing is, you are exactly like a book. I really do see that. I know God has good things for you ahead. You're a very good person Hannah, better than myself. Keep being you. You're awesome and I love you.
