Write Your Story On My Heart

Books I am currently reading/journaling in.

The Preacher and I love books. If you know me at all, you know that I have more than one book in my backpack at all times. I love the feel of a book, I love the smell of a new book, even the smell of a bookstore. I love holding a book, the feel of turning a page to find out what's on the next page. I have downloaded the e-books but it's just not the same. There is a convenience to a digital book, like being able to carry several books in one small package, but it just doesn't have the same feel of a hardback or paperback book.

When I was in school, for the first few weeks/months, I would carry all of my books, even though I had a locker to store them in. The most exciting day of school was the day I received all of my books for the year. Actually opening them and studying...well that was a different story.

Some of my books that I am currently reading are inspirational, and some deal with art - art journaling, scrapbooking, and mixed media. 

One day last week, I was running on the treadmill at the gym, I had my headphones in and my "Need To Breath" station on iHeart Radio was on. The song, "Write Your Story on My Heart", by Francesca Battistelli came on. I heard this song clearly for the first time. The chorus says:

"I'm an empty page, I'm an open book, write Your story on my heart, come on and make Your mark. Author of my hope, maker of the stars, let me be Your work of art, won't you write Your story on my heart."

Upon hearing these words it got me thinking how the Lord loves a good book too, and that book is me! I am His art, I am His story! Each and every day is a new page being turned. Each and everyday a new piece of art is being created. I believe the Lord gets excited opening His book called "Linda"!

Today, be sure to ask the Lord to write His story on your heart!

Love from the Preacher and I
