Words. Stories. Community.

Every number has a name, 

Every name has a story, 

& 

Every story matters to God.

I love people. And best of all I love to hear their stories. Being in a new community the best way to connect with people is by hearing their stories. To be brave and vulnerable enough to share with one another is huge. I gain so much perspective and respect for people after hearing their story because I can somewhat better understand who they are. In a Christian community I love to hear how God's hand has and is in people's lives. I am always so encouraged. I enjoy one on one conversations with people. Needless to say, coffee dates are my favorite. :)

God has been providing me with these moments to have one on one conversations with people recently. I have discovered that sometimes these conversations just happen randomly. They don't always have to be planned out in advance. And it's been beautiful to see how God just divinely puts that all together. He is good. His timing is perfect. And I am grateful for each conversation I have had.

I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and to get to know someone you normally wouldn't talk with. I believe you won't regret it. Their story will more than likely amaze you, and who knows you just may make a new friend along the way! I will end with this amazing quote...

"Be BRAVE enough to tell your story

+

KIND enough to not tell anyone else's."
