“With every step of our lives we enter into the middle of some story which we are certain to misunderstand.”
“We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow our own steps, not those that society forces us to take.”
“We come to life in the middle of stories that are not ours.”
“When we submit our lives to what we read in scripture, we find that we are not being led to see God in our stories but our stories in God's. God is the larger context and plot in which our stories find themselves. ”
“If we told every story from the middle, we would never appreciate happy endings.”
“We are each in the middle of our own path. We do not know what will be at the end of our story.”
