What's your story?

So I just finished a book by Donald Miller called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. He writes about his experience writing a script for a movie about his life and how it got him to think about writing a story with his life and how we can choose write a better story. It made me start thinking about my story and what kind of story Jesus wants to write with my life. As I was reading I began thinking about all the adventurous things I could do while I'm in Calgary to make my summer more interesting but then as I thought more I realized that I don't need to climb a mountain, or race in a triathlon, or jump out of the sky to write a better story. Jesus is already writing a better story in my life. I got to thinking about how my story of going to Haiti intertwined with the story of the Haitians we met and with Pierre's story who has been serving the community in Haiti for years. It was fascinating to hear everyone's story and how it led us to that one week in Haiti. While each story was vastly different, for that one week we shared a chapter of our stories and we made a difference however big or small in someone's life.

Well enough of me rambling on, not much is new in Calgary. I've met a few people including a man who lives in Bowness (this is the neighborhood I live in) who ministers to aboriginals, homeless and people in prison. He had a fascinating story about how he was a successful business man who was far from God and eventually came to know Christ after his wife did and eventually started his ministry. I went ballroom dancing last Friday and hope to go again. Hopefully this time I'll have a better experience getting there. Not a fan of the buses. Also, we've accomplished a good amount of work on the project and are about done with the first draft of the architectural drawings.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else Jesus is going to write in my story this summer. Tell me about your story. I'd love to hear it!
