Life Quote by Courtney Westlake
““We are storytellers with this one life we have been given. We are the main characters in this incredible story, and even when we don’t realize it, God is weaving through our story and using our story to impact the world around us. With every choice we make, we get to choose how to tell this story of our lives. We may not always have control over what happens to us, but we choose how to react to these experiences, and through that, we decide on the genre of our story. Will we be the hero or the victim? Will we write for ourselves a beautiful story worth reading and sharing?””
