My Sisters, my friends, turning page 16 of Chapter 2012 in this Journey of Life. I reflect on the previous pages. I read the fine print, the footnotes and discovered amazing P.O.W.E.R. on every page. I realized that during the development of this story, in between the script and verse, it was important for the author to put a footnote to declare what was not clear in the general reading. You know, the footnote gives you inside information on the general text. As I thought about this...it dawned on me that my footnotes contain various information, such as "kept by grace", Tried by Fire, Gold refined, and so many footnotes that have kept me standing. Yes, I am grateful, that as I turn the pages of this book of life and read the "additional information" it really encourages me and reveals to me the true means by which I have survived. Not by my own strength, but with a supernatural, P.O.W.E.R. that stood when I fell. My footnotes reminded me that I have not been alone in my struggles. My footnotes reminded me that this battle is not mine alone. My footnotes remind me every time I take a look back over the pages, when I thumb through the chapters, I am reminded that this Book of Life is for a purpose bigger than me, it is for a glory that shall be revealed. Sis, have you checked out your footnotes...what do they say? Turn the page Sis, this book is getting better and better. Don't be afraid, TURN THE PAGE!!!
As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters. I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced. I am reminded of the miracle that I am. As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of. As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good. I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial. I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together. Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together. I did not notice then...
