And so artfully, too. I have a similar dynamic with my own sister and appreciate the way you honor each of your journeys and your continual weaving together in Christ. <br />What a tender way to see and tell this:<br />"We're figuring this out together, this telling of stories; this listening and holding a safe space for truth-telling, for growing and filling new skin, for fumbling around for words and sight. Our skin may look different, our stories told in different styles, and yet in the end, I wonder if the story being told isn't so very much the same."<br />Yes! I love you, friend, and am grateful to be connected with you both.

And I love what you said at the end, "I wonder if Jesus might gather up all these stories as chapters of the same book on the same gloriously inexhaustible subject." Every Christian has a different story, but the same thread of the gospel ties them all together. It's so neat to see how it shines in a distinct way in each story.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918552500546169211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-35002766466868719362014-08-17T14:26:53.247-07:002014-08-17T14:26:53.247-07:00I always enjoy coming here and reading your though...I always enjoy coming here and reading your thoughts, Amber.
