Merging Our Stories

God...

Thank You...for freedom at work. That my dad loves me and is kindhearted toward me. Thank you for your Son Jesus who is merging His story with my story, thereby building an intertwined relationship with me. Thank you that I don't really feel angry or pissed off at anyone. Thanks for giving me my friend Joseph. And thank you for raising up an "emergent" group in OKC; thanks for the hope of community and belonging.

Help me...be honest, be faithful, and keep growing. Help me know the Truth, and let it set me free.

Shane, I love you...and how you walk in the Way I lead you, no matter where the crowd is going. I love how you take things in and chew on them, extracting the good and the meaningful. You give me rich soil to work with. For this reason, I like to give you good things to chew on.

I'm sorry...for sometimes being timid, for not acting when I could act. For not knowing when I should act. For not going with my gut many times.

Be with me...as I explore new places and people. Just "be" with me--what more can I ask for?
