Story People

Scripture: I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.

In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed. How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sun of them!
Psalm 139:14-17

Words of Inspiration: We are a story people. From a very early age, most of us have been schooled in the stories- stories of our faith, our families, our particularities... the list goes on and on. We are stories all the way down to the core. Stories shape, form and make use the people we are, or at least offer a lens by which we can understand our present realities as we move towards becoming.

Prayer: As Austin, Cary and Ciona enter into the new stories of Kenya, tune their ears to listen well, touch their eyes that they may truly see and give them grace to be the people you have created them to be. Remind them daily that they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Amen.
