My life. My story. Me.

     The word "composition" has more than one meaning.  One refers to making something - composing it; often thought of in terms of writing.  Composition can also refer to what something is made of, the specific parts that make something a whole.  Although in a way, I did mean the title of this as a writing kind of composition, for much of what I will post here will be my own thoughts and writings and because writing is such a major part of my life, it has a different meaning as well.  For I believe that our whole lives are a story.  Here I will share about my life - my thoughts, dreams, feelings, opinions and actions.  I will share those parts of my life - those pieces of my life that make up the whole of it.  And by doing so, I will be sharing the story of my life as it is being composed merely by living it. I believe that we are all composers.  Everything we say and do is forming a story.  Whether written or simply acted out, we are constantly constructing and composing that which is the story of our lives.  Our lives and our stories are ever being composed and formed - by ourselves, by others in our lives, and by God.  The words we say, the words we write, the actions we take, all fit into our story and make up who we are.  And the same for those in our lives, as each fits into our story in a unique way.  And ultimately, I want my story to be formed by God.  I know not everyone includes God in their life story, but I also know how much they are missing when they do not.  They are missing a comfort in times of distress and they are missing a joy I could never express.  They are missing a Savior.  I want God to be a part of my story as well, and I know that He is willing for it to be so.

     So that is what this is. This is my life. This is my story. This is me.
