Yesterday Tera and Chad Blahak came up to share their story and struggles along their journey to having a family. They witnessed to the heartbreaks of infertility and miscarriages, to being angry with, yet trusting God, to trusting each step they felt they were called to take, and to God's eventual responses to their needs in His time.
Simply put, it was a beautiful Sunday.
What I love about these moments just as much as I love what is said in particular is how God works through those stories and words. They affect us greatly, give us powerful insights, help us grasp truths we otherwise begin to doubt, and encourage us by knowing we share similar stories with others.
What I also love about these moments is the reality that no matter how eloquently I may try to profess the same truths that others do in their Real Life stories, there are some things I simply can't say to the same affect.
Am I complaining? No! I'm marveling. This church is a community. This church is comprised of the leadership and teaching of many. God doesn't give only one person the ability to speak His truth, but rather He gives it to many, in particular forms.
Ultimately, we each contain a unique and powerful piece of God's truth within us and within our stories that no one else can say, teach, or share as we can. The more we can share and hear each others' stories, the more powerful and present the full truth of God's love will be.
SO! Speak up! You have the words within you that no one else can say about who Jesus is in our world today. Tell this story to the world around you and let others catch another piece of who God IS.
More to come!
