That title is the title of today's post by the amazing author of "Stuff Christians Like", Jon Acuff. Though the site is known for its humor, I'm a huge fan of what's come to be called "Serious Wednesdays". Jon is a gifted writer, and many of these entries have touched, encouraged, and challenged me. Today's post, though, is the story of Beth, a fan of the site. As I read it, it moved me as it dovetailed with my post just written moments before about how God can use us no matter how bad we think our story is, and that He meets us right where we are. It's also a primer of how poorly some churches treat the broken, and makes me feel very fortunate that my home church,NMC, embraces those who's lives are shattered, and loves them through it while giving solid Christ-honoring counsel just like they did with me.
If you have a story with some bumps and valleys in it, be inspired by Beth's words, and encouraged that God can and will still use you despite how your story has been to this point...I know it inspired me.
Click here to read it. It's well worth your time.
Thanks, Beth....I needed that.
