What's Your Story?

Wooohooo! Two posts in two days! I'm on a roll.

So, what's your story about His glory? This is something that's really been on my mind lately. Sharing our story. My Sunday School class has been on this the last two weeks, today's sermon was about it, and the Matthew West song, "Next Thing You Know" has been running around and around my head.
Have you ever read the "Left Behind" series? One of the first things they ask new believers they meet is, "So, how'd it happen for you?" Why don't we do that now? We ask new couples how they met, we ask new people to our area what brought them here, why not ask, "So, when did you believe?"
Here's my story. When I was 8 years old, I was attending Vacation Bible School. Olive Gurney was my teacher. I don't remember what the lesson was, but I do remember that it was the first time I realized I had to ask Jesus to be my Savior or I wouldn't be going to heaven. Up until that moment I figured my parents were Christians, so I was a Christian. This was the first time it became personal for me. Of course, there's more to my story, there has to be, or we don't grow, but that's the beginning for me.
So, I'm asking, what's your story for His glory? Share it in the comments section. I can't wait to read them!

And if anyone can tell me how to put a video from YouTube on here, I'd add the Matthew West song. It's perfect for this.

Creation

Psalm 98:7-9 "Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy;let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in equity.

Psalm 93:3-"The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice;the seas have lifted up their pounding waves."

What is the verse? The one that says if we don't praise God, the rocks will cry out? That's what I see in these verses. Creation praises it's Creator all the time. With everything it does. How cool.

Two quick things from that. 1)Do we do the same? Do we praise God with everything we do? I know I haven't this week. It was a terrible week and instead of focusing on the hope I have, I let the week bog me down to tears. How do we praise God in that? Take the focus off ourselves and put it on God.

2)Next time you stand in awe at a sunset, a rainbow, the ocean. Something in nature that totally knocks you off your feet with the beauty of it, you are standing in awe of the Creator who made it. Give Him glory and praise.
