Story

Story makes up our lives. Stories tell of our lives. There are characters and conflict. High points and low points. Miracles and totally ordinary happenings. Joys and grievances. We, the characters, interact with our surroundings and respond accordingly. All of us are creating stories. We all have one and will never be without it. Sharing stories is where I believe we become closer to one another. We open up a part of ourselves when we share stories.

Jesus lived stories. He told them. He asked others to share theirs. He was interested in story. The old story, and the new one. There is a great story that for those who follow Him get to take a part in.

I believe in story and the power of us connecting all of our small stories into one. That they would overlap, be a part of each other, and make a more beautiful story together. That starts with us sharing, taking active part in each other's story and being intentional about writing our own. What story do you have to tell?
