My life...a book?

One of my crazy dreams has been to publish a memoirs type book about my life. I suppose it's probably a fairly common thought. Doesn't everyone want to write a book about his/her life?

I'm so thankful that God has already written the book for me and that I get the privilege of living out the stories on the pages. I'm reminded of the verse from 2 Corinthians 3:2-3, "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. " So, I am writing a book as I daily seek to passionately pursue Christ!

Even with such encouragement as this, the stubbornness in me still wants to record the details of my life. What would I write? Perhaps I would touch on the highlights like birth, graduations, marriage, when my kids were born. In fact, in some ways I only want to record the happy, fond memories and leave out all of the disappointments and failures. But, that would give a very unrealistic picture of Sherri, wouldn't it?

I plan to take the next few entries and pay tribute to some important people in my life, remembering good and bad, laughter and tears and how God has soverignly used them to impact me. Stay tuned...
