Stories




Stories make us who we are. They impact us in a way that we can’t avoid. They reveal something about us, the writer, the people in them. Stories are the framework of our lives. But yet I don’t feel as though I share enough of them. It is not that they are lacking. Living in a foreign country leaves you with stories to tell everyday.
I think sometimes it is a little overwhelming thinking about which stories to tell and then I just end up not telling any stories and just writing big long updates of some of the events that have happened in our lives over the past couple of weeks or months. There is a place for that, I know…
but stories… There is just something about them that impacts people. That is why I am passionate about sharing my stories with you now. I am committing to share more stories than information in this blog in the next year. To convey information through stories, rather than just leaving the stories out completely.
So many times  I am touched and inspired, moved to action through stories about people. PEOPLE! PEOPLE ARE AMAZING and terrible and messy and unfortunate and victorious and HIS wonderful creation!
Information will come, but the stories, that is what brings life to people, hope, excitement, joy, partnership. I hope that you will partner with us as we share our life with you, our stories.
