“I have come to understand that life is too complex and much too short to let amateurs direct the story. I would rather let the Master Storyteller do the writing.”
~ Steve Saint ~
End of the Spear, p. 60
While reading End of the Spear, the above quote jumped out at me. I know in my head that I am an amateur at directing the story of my life while God is truly the Master Storyteller, but all too often I catch myself thinking that He has no idea what He is doing in my life! He is writing a little detail, or perhaps a major detail, that just shouldn’t be in my life story. That detail is totally messing up the plot of my life! Or at least…that is how I feel.
I need reminders that God is truly sovereign and He is completely in charge of my life. If I try to take the pen for my life story, I will come up with the most twisted plot imaginable. God alone knows all the details, big and little, needed to make my life a beautiful story that will be a witness for Him. The quote from End of the Spear served as such a reminder.

I would like to read this book… I had an opportunity to but it recently, but it was new and about $17. 😦 At that same event, however, I also had the opportunity to hear him speak and fly in the replica of his dad’s plane. I’d love to hear more about the book as you go through it (if you’re still on page 60 then there’s plenty still! 😀 ).
