There is a reason she is part of Team Awesome

I got this note in my student mailbox the other week from Janelle. I reread it often and remember what it means to search for God.


I thought this might help as a reminder of why we’re here, I know I needed one. We’re here to tell a better story, not just buy into the one that’s already being told. We’re here to love and appreciate people, to be beautiful. We’re not here to be insecure and worry about where we fit in, we have a purpose much greater than that. We’re here to add to the beauty, to be creative, to live in the confidence that God loves us more than we could know. We’re here to LIVE

Sara Groves Lyrics "Add To The Beauty":

Redemption comes in strange places, small space, calling out the best of who we are
And I want to add to the beauty
To tell a better story
Shine with a light that’s burning up inside

It comes in small inspirations
It brings redemption to life and work
It comes in loving community
It comes in helping a soul find its worth

And this is grace: an invitation to be beautiful
