The Other Side of Your Story.

Last night I went to see Moi and Dex in concert.

At one point the word “ridiculous” slipped out under my breath. They are just so talented. Though my favorite part of the concert was not actually the music.

It was the chance to see two men who are continuing on the adventure of who God is creating them to be. I don’t know very much of their story. I do know, like many of our stories, it has been wraught with challenges and questions. Yesterday night each man stood on stage, with different stories to tell, but with the determination to continue on and the blessings which are apparent in their lives.

I believe this is the other side of our stories. Sometimes it becomes easier to talk about the pain, the abuse, the questions and the hardships. I think we need to have the freedom to talk about these things. There is healing in expressing where we have come from.

But…

The real beauty, the story of redemption which makes my heart beats fast, is in the other side of the story. It is in what happens after everything seems hopeless. It is in the hero winning. It is in the confidence of someone who has survived the battle. It is in finding the treasure.

Continuing the adventure,

Jess
