S&F-My Story is Being Written

I have been a very quiet over the past few weeks on my "Shephard and Friend" posts here.  Don't worry, I haven't had any issues with my faith nor my relationship with God.  We have just spent some time during.  Lent trying to get closer and preparing for Jesus's coming at Easter.

I spend a pretty decent amount of time every day absorbing content about The Church and the joy of believing in the Christ.  Every once in a while I hear something that Jesus specifically meant for me.

I was listening to a reflection on how in the chaos of life I need to trust that God has me on the right path.  I'm sure Joseph didn't think his life would include taking in a wife who was pregnant with the Son of God or fleeing to Egypt with a newborn.  He must have been so stressed that he lost Jesus in Jerusalem.  Losing God's son probably wouldn't make you any points with the big guy upstairs.

But Joseph had confidence that God would keep him on the right track.  Afterall, Joseph had to know his story was being written by the hand of a God who loves him and wants him to have that happy ending.

So how was this meant for me?  About half-way the speaker (Chris Stefanick on The Hollow Prayer App) says "You might have cancer."  He was talking right to me.  And when I say "He," I mean the capital "H" he, Our Lord.

Like Joseph, I need to have confidence that in the chaos of my life, my story is being written by someone who loves me.  I don't know what chapter my life is on, but I do believe that when the final word is written it will be a happy ending I want, to be together with Him in Heaven.
