Life as a Library
Ever looked at your phone's notes app? I mean really looked at it? The other day, I was scrolling through my Apple Notes and realized I had accumulated 1,730 entries. That's not just random thoughts - it's a collection of work insights, church leadership lessons, personal revelations, devotionals, prayers, and everything in between.
As I was diving into this digital treasure trove, something hit me: we're all writing books without even realizing it. Every note you jot down, every lesson you learn, every prayer you whisper, every failure you overcome - they're all chapters in the various books of your life. Think about it. Your career struggles and victories? That's a leadership book in the making. Those parenting moments that made you laugh or cry? There's your guide to raising kids. The spiritual insights you've gathered through years of walking with God? That's a devotional waiting to be shared.
We often think our experiences are just... well, experiences. But what if they're actually meant to be shared? What if your struggles could help someone else navigate their own journey? What if your "random notes" could be someone else's guidebook?
Your life isn't just a single story - it's an entire library. Each category of experiences, each season of life, each lesson learned is its own unique volume. And here's the beautiful part: these books aren't meant to sit on a shelf collecting dust. They're meant to be shared, to help others, to let people know they're not alone in their journey.
So keep taking those notes. Keep recording those lessons. Keep documenting your journey. Because somewhere out there, someone needs to read the exact chapter you're living right now.
What books are you writing with your life today?
