Have you thought your story was boring or you don’t really have anything to say? Well, I surely thought that when God started pressing me to help his people write their stories…and I asked how in the world can I do that when I don’t even know how to write my own story. Did you know God has a sense of humor? It seems He loves to use the “least of these” (and that would be me), along with His powerful Word to open blind eyes to do things they cannot do so He can do it through them.
That’s what He began doing! While reading His Word, poems would come rushing up like “Old Faithful Geyser” that explain our story is simply our history, that is HisStory in us reflecting His goodness and faithfulness throughout our lives, especially when He brought us through those stormy seas that He has used for our good in shaping our lives and character. So surely we have stories to share … If not, I challenge you to ask God to see your life from His perspective and you, too, may find yourself looking back in your rearview mirror and see your life in a whole new light!
Will you take God’s Word to heart, for we all have a story to tell, His story in us will do very well so watch out for you just may discover when you … “Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back — given back with bonus and blessing.” Luke 6:38 MSG
As adults, we all know life can be grueling and hard. One of my favorite things to say to remind myself and encourage others is “Life is hard BUT GOD is Good!” Creating your story photobook may be just the thing that helps a loved one find the encouragement needed to not give up and press on, all because you opened the window to your heart and passed along a heritage that cares for the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of your children, family, and future generations.
