I went searching today for a story to write about. If you read yesterday's post, you would know that I am discussing how important each of our personal stories are. After perusing my Twitter feed, I came across a story by Max Dubinsky, found on a website known as People Of The Second Chance. In his personal story, entitled, Your Life Is The Greatest Story Ever Told, he recounts this.
"I’ve been reading Donald Miller’s book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. It’s the story of him editing his life into a story fit to be made into a movie. Miller discusses how hard it is to remember the life you’ve lived, how memories get lost in a few drinks in a few years, and whether life even happened if you can’t remember it.
He believes we all have a story to tell, and that some of us are not living the right story".
Max points out some salient points put forth by Donald Miller. Would each of us, as Miller puts it, "remember the life you've lived..." Would it be possible to recount our story if asked to write a screenplay about our life? How would other actors fit into our story? Tough questions to consider. How would you answer? What would your story look like?
What about his last statement, “that some of us not living right story.” How does that sit with you? Could this mean that we are not living the life God has called us to live? Have we even considered this aspect of our story? Again, lots of questions with answers begging to become known.
So where do we begin? How will our story play out?
