My first day, act one of my play and all the special people in my life are there, along with the director. Everyone was so excited that my play had finally begun, it was my first curtain call. But for me, it seemed all I could do was cry. I was mixed up and scared.
As I felt the directors touch, a clam came over me and I stopped crying. “After all,” he said, “this play was written for you.” I couldn’t help but smile, which thrilled everyone in the room.

Act-one scene-one I am bringing the house down, all eyes are on me. Everything I do seems to be perfect, scene one played out just as the director planned.

Scene 2 and 3 hadn’t gone so well, I felt like I was playing these scenes out by myself. What my family thought didn’t really matter to me anymore and I felt like the director had deserted me. I wasn’t doing so good on my own. At this rate my final curtain call would come earlier then I ever dreamed it would. Act 1 started off great but had ended up, in what seemed to be a disaster. I knew I couldn’t continue on this same path in Act 2.

Just before Act 2 began the director returned at my request. I told him I knew I had been wrong and would he find it in his heart to forgive me, and of course he did. He reminded me once again-this play had been written just for me and I was the only one that could mess it up. I was thankful to have him back on stage with me, because I was making a disaster out of my play on my own.

I decided to also ask my family for their support as well, before Act 2 began. They gladly gave me their full support as they always had, but this time I really wanted it, and tgem in my life. Act 2 scene one and everything was back on track. The scenes were running smoothly. With each scene there was more family and friends to support me. My director never left my side. Anytime I got off script he would always get me back on track. Act 2 scene 1-3 couldn’t have been better, I was perfectly happy with the way things had played out.

Act 3 -I am now in the last scene of my play, surrounded once again by family and friends that love and support me, only this part of my play is not as exciting to them as was opening night but I know the ending and it works out good for me. My director is here to announce it is time for the curtains to come down and lights out, my play was coming to an end and I would be leaving with him.

If you haven’t guessed yet, the play was my life always supported by my family and guided my the director of my life my Heavenly Father. We all have a life play written for us.
Act 1 scene 1 ( my early childhood days when everything I did was sweet and cute). Sometimes we get off script and it looks as if our play is going to close early as my did in Act 1 scenes 2-3 ( my rebellious days these were my high school and college days).Before Act 2 starts, I see the wrong path I am on and repent and turn back to God. I also let my family back into my life.

In those times when we are about to fall off the stage, call on the Director and He will get us back into the character we were born to be. Then we can finish our play with a standing ovation and a Well done my good and faith servant.

“For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NASB
