Danielle’s Story
A few short months after Wayne and I found STORYCHURCH, I was asked to contribute a book chapter with my life story and womanly encouragement.
Ironic, huh?
God very directly and matter-of-factly asked me to share my story with others…
Jordan’s Story
To start off I was born and raised in PA. When I was three months and 11 days old I was in a severely bad accident that fractured my skull and partially paralyzed my left hand and arm. I was in the ICU for almost a month, and while I was there I managed to catch meningitis twice and almost died both times! No one thought I’d ever survive.
Growing up, I can remember going to a church. We stopped going when I was around seven for some reason.
Katey’s Story
When I first became a Christian, the book I was reading when I began to see my life changing was The Purpose Driven Life. The very beginning of the book said “You were not an accident”, and basically saying that even if your parents hadn’t planned you God had planned you. You were created for a purpose; there was a plan for your life.
Lee’s Story
As a child, I imagined that heaven would be a colorful place where I would spend time with my family and enjoy life forever. My dream of one day reaching heaven gave me peace, but that peace didn’t last long.
At about age 12, my curiosity for life’s dangers took hold. Perhaps because of peer pressure, negative influences, the devil, or a combination of them all, my life turned on a new path of self-destruction. The peace and joy drifted out of sight and out of mind.
Joel’s Story
This is a story of how God changed my life when and how I least expected Him too. I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home growing up in Pennsylvania and later Virginia. When I turned 19 years I decided, due to certain circumstances to “take control of my life”. This being I put God in my rear view mirror and started on a self-destructing but successful journey. I began to live the excessive party life filled with the standard sex, drugs, and rock and roll, I guess you could say. But doing this I lost a few friends and lost my own salvation. I was also at the same time able to grow in my career and get totally consumed with my job to the point I did not know who I was anymore. I still felt I needed something more, that I was still not complete. I was looking and moving to new places hoping to find, in my mind, that which would complete me.
