made known through our stories
I've been going through some of my quote notebooks, and this one jumped out at me and demanded to be shared here. Storytelling is a big theme in the quotes I've collected over the years.
"My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours. Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I, of these stories of who we are and where we have come from and the people we have met along the way because it is precisely through these stories, in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully and personally."

i strongly believe in this... thank you for sharing this. ^^,
i actually think that we are all intertwined and is somehow correlated to one another's stories. and that from time to time, God allows us to be an inspiration to others so that He can be known and be glorified. 0=)
