I wished my story had started with, “I won the lottery!” and ended with, “And we lived happily ever after.” But that is not a story that God can use. And to be honest, is that a story that would comfort or inspire you? The heroes of the faith I grew up learning about weren’t heroes because of their stories; they were heroes because they shared their stories. The only thing we’re called to emulate is their dependence on God. In our worst trials, and especially in our extreme brokenness, God is the only hero of our story. And that is a story worth sharing.
