A God Story

If you are given the same message twice maybe God is telling you something. So what if I recieved Don Miller's new book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, and then the DVD a few months later. Like Don, is God wanting me to be more intentional, to take some risks, to create more story in my life?
Don was feeling lost and unproductive, I wasn't. In fact I had been thinking how comfortable life was for me now. Kids are gone. I love the writing and subbing I do. I love the ministries I am involved in. But there are no risks. I wasn't doing anything that only God could do. I wasn't taking risks.
The guys who wanted to make a movie of Don life told him his life was boring. They would probably say that about mine. I needed a story.
I don't mean adventure. Physically. forget it. If I can finish a game of tennis with my back injuries I am happy. Adventure, where you push your body, is satisfying but it is not my story.
I needed an adventure birthed by God that would show his work in my life.
Over the last year I kept thinking about how cool it would be if our family could provide the money for a well in Africa. It costs $4,800 for World Hope to bring this clean water source to an African Village. Every time the thought came to me, I dismissed it. None of us have any extra funds around. In fact, looking at our bank accounts and the word, ludicrous, come to mind. If we were to come up with the money we would have to raise it ourselves. In reality, only God could do it. Then it dawned on me, what a perfect story!
So I have started the story with excitement and fear. I will let you know what happens.
