Sharing My Life

To start off, let me first mention that I am horrible at sharing stories. I am horrible at sharing them verbally, as well as sharing them through a blog. By this, I don't mean that I am a bad story teller (though some could probably argue that). What I mean is that I usually don't find much need to share what all is going on in my life. I feel like God has given me my story and He has given you your story, and occasionally our stories connect and we move on. But recently, I have begun to share some of the cool things that God has done in my life, and I see the effect that it has on others. I find it especially incredible when the story travels beyond those that I told and it affects the lives of people I don't even know. That has nothing to do with me, or with my story-telling capability (which I have already described as poor). But it has everything to do with God. I have begun to realize that God often uses our lives to effect people that we never even meet.

Last night as I was thinking about this, I was reminded of a video that I saw. It relates perfectly to this idea and I want to encourage everyone to view it. It can be found at the following link:

With all that said, I am going to attempt to start sharing some more of my stories. I have created this blog for that purpose. I will do my best to stay up to date with it, sharing current stories, as well as stories of my past. After all, these stories are what have shaped me into the person that I am today.

I would also love to encourage you to share your stories as well. Sure, sometimes they may seem boring to you, but you never know what sort of impact your life can have on someone. So prayerfully, my stories will have an impact on those who read this blog. Correction: these aren't my stories; these are God's stories, and I just happen to be one of the characters.
