Tell the Story

Sometimes, in the business of life, we take for granted the place that we live in. We become numb to the "everyday-ness" of our lives. We begin to believe the lie that there is nothing special or unique about where we live, or the people we encounter on a daily basis. 

I have been wanting to write an update for a very long time for my friends and family. I haven't been able to find the words. It's hard to see what there is to report when I have become so used to my day to day. I had to take a step back to see the bigger picture of what I have been guilty of taking for granted.

God is at work.

I work with a non-profit mission’s organization. It is one of many in my area. Colorado Springs is the home of many churches and ministries. I have met, worked along side, and worshiped with many passionate believers who desire to see God made known throughout the whole world and our local community. 

On a weekly basis I hear stories from all over the world. I get to read reports from people who work in remote areas of our globe. I work along side people who have spent 10+ years on the field. I am very blessed because I don't have to guess or wonder if God is at work. I know He is. 

While I await the School of Biblical Studies to start up again this fall, I have been working in the communications department with YWAM Colorado Springs. The past few months have been a time of growth for me. I have been inspired by what God is doing. 

In the position I'm in, my job is to "tell the story". What that means is that I get to communicate what God is doing around the world. I have a pretty great job!

In the business of life it is easy to get bogged down by what is in front of us. It is easy to forget that there is a bigger story unfolding all around us. We each play a part in that story. My heart in this season is to communicate and to share - to encourage the church that God is here. He is at work. He has not forgotten His people. And He desires to be made known throughout the world. 

So be prepared to hear stories - God wants to encourage His church. He wants to inspire us to continue to patiently endure, because He is right there along side us.
