The Story Lives On - Part 2

The Sharing Part

So I've talked about people that shaped my story. Their story inspired me, moved me, and taught me. God put those people in my life, used them as a mouth piece, set them as examples, and grew my faith through their lives. I needed to hear their story.

Now....who needs to hear my story? Are there people who need to hear my story?

The self-conscious side of me thinks "my story? That isn't important!" But it is!!! My story is so important-- not because of me but because of God. I feel weird saying there are people who need to hear my story. But that is ministry! Telling your story. I am very proud of my story and again, not because I've done anything good, but because my story is God working and moving in my life. As Christians, we are the tied together by our stories. When Tana Hartsell came to speak at SHINE, she said "A story dies if it is not told."  I love that. The theme for this mini series is 'The Story Lives On'.  My story has life and a heart beat. And it lives through being told! Just like there are stories I needed to hear....someone needs to hear my story. And that is kinda weird to say and get on board with. But I know its true. My story is personal but not private. Our story bind us together, connect generations, and demand to be told.

There are two ways to tell my story. 1. To actually put it in words, to tell someone or to write it. 2. to live my story.  I can't really blog about who needs to hear my story, because I don't know who exactly needs to hear it. All I can do is pray for God to place people in my life that need to hear my story. Pray that I will pay attention when someone needs to hear my story.
