Life Stories

So,
Ash and I host a weekly bible study. If you haven't gone, we would love to see you there. Anyways, this past week I led a what I would call "spastic" study about life stories. As you saw on the message, I really love Donald Miller's quote-
"Every life is like a story. Whether it is a story worth telling and talking about though, is up to you."
How true is this quote though? I mean, seriously. My life story this week probably includes some bible time, a lot of TV time, too much sleep, time with friends, and Dr. Pepper. How in the world does most of that even make up a good life story? Let us look at it and see what I have done to glorify God...mmk, that didn't take long to see that I did a big fat NADA. I mean, I attended church and led a bible study. Eh, well, not good enough. I like the saying- just because you stand in a garage doesn't make you a car. So, standing in a church doesn't make you a Christian. Ha, I'd like to share that with some people sometimes, even with myself.
I am reading a book titled The Christian Atheist: Believing in God But Living as If He Doesn't Exist. Honestly, it is an eye opener and I suggest that we ALL read it. I find myself living the life of a Christian Atheist at times. No, not what you are thinking. I am a good kid, promise. But sometimes we just get caught up into life, and put God in the back seat. (Well, he couldn't survive in my back seat, so, God kinda attempts to sit on top of the junk that is piled in my back seat. )
Think about where God is put in your life and what you are saying through your life story...are you proud? Honestly, I hope you are proud and WAY ahead of me. But if you aren't, let's work on this together.

Until next time my friends!

**NOTE- I'm SO not saying that spending time with friends is/ was a waste. It isn't- It was just part of my life story this week :)
