your life story

Have you ever studied people in the Bible and noticed certain life issue defines them? Maybe it was their circumstances or maybe it was their response to a trial. To clarify where I am going with this, I’ll name a life issue and you think of a Biblical person; the first one is an example. A) suffering ….did you think of Job? B) Abandoned…… C)A life of persecution…. D) The doubting one…

You get the idea. I got to thinking about this after David Smith taught our Sr. High Sunday school lesson . He taught on the sovereignty of God. As part of the lesson, David gave his testimony. So now when I think of the “why me?” or the sovereignty of God, I’ll also think of David Smith. Ordinary guy with an extraordinary personal account of why things happen and God’s sovereignty. If you’re curious, his blog is http://brotherdav.blogspot.com/

What life lesson or God’s touch on you do people refer to? Ester..”she was a wise woman”. Karen Ketchie? “She is a ___________ woman. “ There are many words that I pray that people would use, but frankly, there are a few that I’m afraid people might use. (I’m working on those and that’s a different story! )
What about you? Girls, what description will your friends use to describe you? That Katie, she’s a girl that_________! Ashton? God has really_______. That Mckenzie is _________. Mom, how would your kids describe you? What about you Dad?
What story are you telling with your life?

My fav verse is Galatians 5:1 b/c when I asked Jesus to be my Lord, I was freed from the things that caused bondage in my life:fear...sin...unforgiving heart. I still struggle with thosethings but they do not have a chokehold on me, you know? He replaced those things with peace and the persuit of living and loving like Him.
