Somebody Else's Story

During the John Waller concert on Sunday night, John Waller told us how he came up with his song, "Somebody Else's Story." A mother at his home church was thanking a children's pastor and that pastor replied, "I just want to be a part of their story."

I can't wait to be a part of someone's story!
In fact, I hope I already am a part of several stories. A testimony is a powerful thing, and the road to redemption is incredible. I love having a role in that. I just can't wait to be a missionary in healthcare; then it will be my job to be in those stories.

My challenge to you is this:
This month/semester/year, make it a goal to make your school/home/workplace your own mission field. Whether it's an unsaved friend you want to help find salvation, a brother/sister in Christ for whom you can be accountable and help them strengthen their relationship with God (while letting them help you grow in your relationship with Him, too), or someone who's fallen off the wagon a bit recently and needs a little hand up, there's someone who could use more of God in their lives (uhm hello, everyone needs more of God than they already have!!). Be a part of their story and make them a part of yours.  :)

Heaven Just Got Better

Recently, a lot of the people in my life (and I) have been exposed to a great deal of death (or so it seems to me). Whether death is via an accident, an illness, or old age, people mourn and people grieve over the loss of a life.  That's normal. It's even good, I think. But during a concert I attended last night (John Waller. Amazing.), I was reminded that there's a whole other side to that story. God rejoices when we can join Him in Heaven. Heaven is a beautiful and incredible place, but it's even better with those fantastic people there. And it will be even better with you there, too. :)

This isn't the best version of the song, but it's pretty new so this is the only available video of the song on Youtube! If you find a better version, feel free to post it here and I'll update my post with it. :)

P.S. He's amazing live. If you ever get a chance, go see him. He's very real and uplifting.
