Stories captivate and entertain us. Stories also educate and encourage us. Lately I have been reading the book-
Faith Formation 4.0 by Julie Anne Lytle. Since the purpose of this blog is to connect and unite the women living in the Southeastern District by story, I will be adding blog posts to help us think about the importance of story telling.
As followers of Jesus, we live out our lives here on earth with the power of the Holy Spirit breathed into each of us. We walk and move about learning to understand the mandate to Go and Tell and Make Disciples. Each and every day is learning more about just what this means individually and collectively. This "working it out" begins to unite knowing and being to illustrate how the way we live our lives can become an invitation to others.
Lytle says," This is a story-keeping, story-telling, and story- making process whereby community members remember and retell their experience and understanding of God's presence and the response it inspires."
How wonderful when stories told include women in all walks of life and stages of life. Can you begin to see how the Master StoryTeller- wants to use YOUR STORY to bring HIS HANDIWORK glory?
Blessings,
Connie
