What's Your Story?

I recently heard Donald Miller speak at the Orange Conference. (Which by the way was absolutely amazing. Way to go Reggie, Lanny & Sue) Donald Miller challenged everyone to think about their story. I have always thought about how God has allowed me to experience things as pieces of a 5 billion piece puzzle, but Donald Miller really clarified it for me by creating an amazing image in my mind of the book God is writing for us. God is exciting, there is nothing more exciting!!! Somehow we have forgotten that and just boxed Him in. I want kids to know the real God. I want them to know that following Christ is worth it, it's dangerous, exciting, fulfilling, adventurous, messy, full of grace, joyful, etc. I want them to see that God wants to write their story if they would just let Him.
