Storyline is all about writing great stories with our lives.
Writing a great story almost always involves supporting the stories other folks are writing.
Meet Steve Moakler - he's a musician and the co-founder of Free the Birds - http://helpfreethebirds.com/ - an organization that funds freedom and restoration for women and children who have been exploited by human sex trafficking.
He's selling t-shirts & bird houses that he calls "Freedom Houses" (backstory on the concept here), and accepting donations as he tours to raise money for the cause.
I recently had the privilege of sharing my current story (and the Storyline process) with the congregation at Northridge Fellowship, and I used Steve as an example of the practical kind of steps we can take to start writing a better story with our lives.
I couldn't get one of Steve's birdhouses in time for the service (What!?! you can't send me a birdhouse within 24 hours? Sheesh ;), so I made one of my own and asked for spare change from folks at NRF. They stepped up and donated $267 in support of the story that Steve is trying to write (we passed the money along to Love146.org - one of the partner organizations that Steve supports). A whole bunch of people coming together to do a little bit for folks they don't know. The stuff of good story!
Go take action to support stories that inspire you in 2013!
You'll help write another chapter in their story while improving your own.
(p.s. go buy a t-shirt from Steve. they're comfy.)
Happy New Year! pba.
