Wherever traveling to Mexico, British Columbia, New York City, or within my own little town, I am intrigued by the people around me.<\/p>\n<p>Each human life has a story whose pages I may never read. I see an elderly man walking down the street gripping his walker, a young mom at the park with a quiver full of children, the tattooed orange-haired teen at the street corner, and the executive driving his fancy car. Many times I find myself asking God to take care of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s important and reassuring is that God knows exactly their book of life<\/strong>. He has placed all of us on earth for a reason and a purpose. Whether climbing the corporate ladder, raising a family, struggling in a marriage, or lonely and looking for love, God is reaching out to help. It was projected that in 2015 there would be an estimated 7.325 billion people inhabiting earth.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it might seem like God isn\u2019t interested in us. Not so! God knows the hairs on our head (<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Luke 12:7<\/strong><\/span>), and knows the issues we face each day (<strong>Psalm 139:2<\/strong>). He designed our unique personalities, and sees our dreams and goals.<\/p>\n<p>As you sit reading these words, know that God is waiting to help write your story\u2026and what a story that will be!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>God in Heaven, thank You that You love to help us write our story.\u00a0 In Your world of over 7 billion people, thank You that You know the number of hairs on our head, and are waiting to help us write our story. We are asking for Your help and Your wisdom as we put one foot in front of the other.\u00a0 In Jesus\u2019 name, amen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Let God take your life and make something beautiful.
