Unscripted Life

Sometimes life could be so scripted that it seems like a movie, like turning over the pages of a movie.

For example, Barbara Streisand, standard socialite snub announcing Eminem as the Oscar winner two years ago. I only remember it now cos I just saw the movie "8 Mile" for the first time and I remember how perplexed she looked when she opened that envelope and there was his name. It could have been anyone else winning or announcing it, instead that was the way it went. What a feat? I couldn't help thinking all through the movie that black people have been doing this whole rapping thing for years, as long as I can remember, as long as I've known the "African-American" male he has been rapping, trying to find a way to get his messgae across by rapping. But then, there comes this skinny white boy and he becomes the most revered rapper there is, plus he wins an Academy. It just seems a little too scripted, a little unlike life, except it is.

On that note, I'd like to ask God to give me a scripted week. One that He has perfectly crafted the storylines with His hands, thought it out and made it out to be Anita's life. And I pray in some ways it sets the standard, changes the pace, leads the way, and becomes something someone can one day sit down and think, "Who knew Anita's life could be like this?" No one except You, God, and for that I pray everyday, every moment, never stop believing there is something special about me you are yet to reveal. Only time will tell. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
