Like most kids I wondered what
the future would bring. I had some
ideas. I loved cars and decided to become an auto body repairman. I enjoyed repairing cars, but not a good
choice. It may have caused my Parkinson’s. I wonder now what God could have done with my
life if I had trusted Him sooner. I would like to have known His plan for my
life. He chose to unveil it little by
little.
Now, I find it amazing that God
can use a nobody like me. He allowed me the privilege to pastor a church and
now to write some humorous stuff. Sometimes He even lets me be an encouragement
to somebody. He even lets me play with puppets.
Yup, God gives people natural abilities to do certain things. Some are great leaders, some wonderful
musicians, and some ventriloquists.
Before I was even conceived God had a plan for my life, which included
writing, speaking, ventriloquism and Parkinson’s disease. He has used each thing for His glory.
God had a plan for Jeremiah
before he was even conceived! He set him apart (sanctified) him for a special
purpose – to be a prophet. In the same
manner, God had a plan for me! Yet, He gave me the choice to accept Jesus as my
Savior or walk away. Nevertheless, He
had a plan.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.” Jeremiah 1:5.
