Missing Out

Rather than looking ahead to how He may surprise us, how He might show up, we look around and find bits and pieces of other people's dramas to keep us entertained. We start finding life in other people's stories....
The problems is, when we start living on other people's stories, we start to lose our own. And our own story, in that tender place of longing, day to day, is what carries God's message for us.
