Tell your story

I love hearing God stories.  I love hearing stories about lives changed, miracles and God interacting in peoples lives.  The other day we received an email from a pastor in Illinois.  He has been sick for a long time and has a tumor in his lung.  Not anymore!  His email of God's miraculous healing brought tears to my eyes.  He even wrote "I would even think I was crazy if it didn't happen to me."  You see, he has had prayer intercessors praying for him for two years now.  God spoke to him and told him "I am answering their prayers."  And the tumor was instantly gone.  He felt it leave.  These stories inspire me, encourage me and fill my heart with joy.

This morning I read the story in Mark 14 about the woman who poured expensive ointment over Jesus head.  Jesus said "She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial.  And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."  Now here I am blogging her story, we read it in the bible.  It is as Jesus said - told in memory of her.  What a beautiful story.  I would have loved to be her friend.  I bet she would have had some awesome God stories to share.  I bet we could have sat all day and talked about our faith together.  I bet she would have encouraged me as her story does today.  

Do you have a story to tell?  How God has stepped in your life?  Tell the story, it may be just what someone else needs to hear.
