BOB PEDEN

This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church.  I know life to be a growing collection of God stories.  You have more than you know.  God is there in every new page of the adventure, whether we feel His presence, or not.  We trust his promise, "Never will I leave you ...."  Embedded in each trust experience is a faith story.  That means, I choose to live life believing that I'm connected to the God of the universe, even when I don't feel like it, or understand it.

Adventure happens in the unexpected and scary times, in the grieving times, in the risky times, and sometimes in the boring stuff.  After we've lived awhile, God helps us understand.  He reveals new truth, new stuff; and we have a story to tell. 

Why not start a journal that collects your faith stories.  Look back on your day and search for God's fingerprints.  Write down what God reveals.  There is more hidden in the past than you remember. Listen for your story in silence ... even in the boring stuff.
