Story

"We all want to be loved for who we are, we all want to become who we're not." - John Ortberg

God's not asking us to become anyone else, he just wants us to be the best, most flourishing versions of ourselves possible.

"You know, a story is based on what people think is important, so when we live a story, we are telling the people around us what we think is important." - Donald Miller

There is a lot of rambling in Donald Miller books, but every now and then there is something really good. Its been good to reflect on my life and figure out what my actions are telling others about what is important to me. I will say teen discipleship, taking care of the earth, and spreading God's story are important to me, but do my actions ever show that?
