The Difference

Sometimes it amazes me how God gets my attention.

I found myself amongst strangers this week.

I had never met any of them before, never spoke to them, typed them an email

or had them post to my blog.

We were, in every sense, foreigners.

I was in their midst for around 4 days. In that period of time I determined

in my own heart to give each one of them what I had of God and

recieve from them what God had for me.

I found myself enjoying each interaction. I saw my heart strings being knit

to theirs. Laughter bubbled. Tears flowed unashamedly. Talk was incessant.

My last day surrounded by them, a passage was quoted, a point made. "We want to leave our mark. Our ability to leave our mark only becomes

attainable when we live for a larger story." Dan Nagel

"The biggest lie I have tried to overcome is that this life is about me." Donald Miller ~ Blue like Jazz

The reason why 'life' was breathed into the occasions and

moments was simply that. Life was given

breathing space.

God left His mark on me.
