Re: *broncoalum*
I've seen a ton of yard signs around my area, on a billboard on M-5 & even a door hanger.
I'll try to explain as best I can via internet, of course it's easier to explain in person.
My siggy is part of the 2WordStory, which is from the E.A.C.H. campaign. EACH is "Everyone A Chance to Hear". I believe it was started by the Pastor of Oak Pointe Church in Novi. He wanted to spread the gospel to people in the metro Detroit area. There are over 500 churches that are participating in this campaign along w/many organizations. There were a ton of prayer gatherings, worship services, etc & a big Prayer Walk at Comerica park in April that drew 20,000 people. Then on Easter the focus is to spend 40 days spreading the Gospel & also volunteering. They would like each person to volunteer, albeit at a Food Pantry, Soup Kitchen, Rebuilding Oakland county, etc.
It's also a way to work w/other churches in the community, and also show the world that metro Detroit is not down & out, we all know everyone is watching us & will we fail or survive.
The 2WordStory is basically any word that best helps describe your story, before Christ & after Christ. So Loved?Loved. means: before you know Christ you might not feel loved (or Secure, Joy, etc...you use the word that fits for your life) but after knowing Christ you know you are Loved! Takes away any doubt. I didn't grow up in the church, so to me it's telling anyone what my life was before excepting Christ & after. It's great because no one can argue about your story, it's your life story.
Of course that doesn't mean life will be easy (hey, take a look at my life right now, it wasn't my plan to have DH be gone M-F w/2 young kids at home), but with Christ I can be assured He still Loves me. Anyone who asks me how I do each day, it's all God helping me through it & a wonderful & supportive church family. Believe me, just like you, I have my bad days, but it's making me a stronger person, I never thought I could do it, but it's amazing when you don't have a choice how strong you can be.
Here are the sites for both E.A.C.H & 2WordStory. Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll try to answer as best as I can.
