What are the stories that motivate us? That awaken us? That stir a passion within us, for life? Stories of overcoming great odds? Works of fiction where we see ourselves in the heroes? Larger than life stories on the movie screens? A book in our hands?
Life is full of stories that push us forward and give us purpose, energy and affirmation. And when those stories help shape us, we in turn begin our very own story…
What stories are we telling? Our social media, our friends, our vocations, everything in our life is sharing a story with others. The stories that shape us shape the stories we tell…
The ultimate story is that of Jesus and the amazing thing is, he invites us into HIS story so we can begin to shape OUR story.
Using all of the stories that shape us, we will see how God works through the world around us to help shape us in to who he wants us to be. We will then look at the stories we are telling with our lives, and ask ourselves the important question…does my story point to Christ?
