Sometimes when trouble enters our story, we worry that the page will never turn. But if God is the author of my story, then trouble is not the story of my life. God is not only the author of my story, Hes the hero. Hope is the story of my life. I think one of the great problems for our movement today is that for the last few decades the invitation to follow Jesus has read more like a travel agency brochure than an enlistment campaign. Its impossible to follow Jesus and leave our cross behind.
