Taking Hold of God's Story

Here we are at a new year!!  In our opening chapel this morning, we learned more about what it means to be a part of God's story, and how we might 'Take hold of' that story.  It involves looking back to the origins of our story (Psalm 139:16), as well as ahead to the role we play in God's story for our lives (Ephesians 2:10). Not only did God ordain all of our days in his book before we were born, he also crafted a lifetime of work for us to do!  How are we to respond?  By taking hold, of course!!!!  This year, we will look for ways in which God has been faithful to his promises, and we will also look for ways to be faithful to Him. The image of a pathway helps us to see that we are on a journey in this story - looking back and looking forward.  What an exciting thing it is to be a part of God's story in Christian Education.
