Psalm 107:4-9
"Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered then from their distress. Hed led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle."
"Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for humankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things."

thinking lately

what is it about story that intrigues us so? recently, some friends and I heard don miller speak. he talked about story and how the bible is full of stories. i think going to movies, reading books, hearing stories told around the fire, searching for the most interesting stories on the web or on tv is contagious. why? because we are all in search for purpose. we find purpose in story. but what i've been thinking about lately is transforming and bringing me to a whole new level of existence. it is creating a pardigm shift in my heart.

follow me. we..are....part...of a story.......but it is not some self centered story where we are the main character and the award is some high pedestal for our ego.

no,

we are really part of something much greater and better then we could ever imagine. we are part of GOD's story. it's a beautiful story. a story of certainty and mystery, a story of miracles and peace, a story of pain and hope, a story that will be told for days, weeks, years, eternity!

the world through him." John 3:17
