My Lifetime Story - Introduction
« on: November 03, 2009, 12:47:43 PM »

As the year is coming to an end we are busy planning for next year.  In 2010 we are going back to the basics of leaving a legacy of faith.  This years challenges are all focused on YOU and your lifetime story.  When you join us in this challenge you will be creating a mini-autobiography.  We are counting down the days till January 6th because we are so stinkin' excited about the My Lifetime Story challenges!!!
 
Wouldn't you love to know what your grandma's favorite toy was as a child, how she felt when she met your grandpa, her favorite scripture and the song that expressed her heart? Your children and grandchildren will have that treasure when you join us in this challenge!
 
We will start out with your family roots in January and move into your childhood in February.  We will continue throughout the year with your teen and adult years as well.  The last challenge of the year will be a letter to your future generations or anyone who reads your book.
 
Each of our stories is important.  This is a book that everyone should create about themselves.  It will be the most treasured album of your family.  As you create this album about your lifetime story you will be leaving YOUR LEGACY OF FAITH.  This is an album that can make an impact in your life as you create it, but it will also create a major impact in the lives of your family both now and in future generations.  As your children read your story in this scrapbook that YOU created, they will take your stories to heart.  Your stories may have more impact on them than even Bible stories, because they are personal and from someone they know and love .  When friends and neighbors pick up your storybook and look through it you will be witnessing without even saying a word.  They will read your lifetime history and discover your love of Jesus, and His forgiveness and faithfulness in your life!
 
The My Lifetime story challenges will begin the first Wednesday in January.  A new challenge will be posted each Wednesday all throughout 2010.  The last challenge will be posted the last Wednesday of December.  Just because the challenge series ends at the end of 2010 doesn't mean your lifetime story album is finished.  We will continue to offer periodic challenges to continue your autobiography and keep it current.
 
Please join us in this year long challenge!  Some of these challenges may be layouts you have already completed.  That is ok!  We need to get these all compiled in your lifetime storybook.  Everyone deserves to be the star of their own book, including and most importantly YOU!  If you don't put some time aside to create your My Lifetime Story album now, you may never find the time.  If something were to happen to you, would your legacy of faith be lost forever?  Take action now, join us as we create our lifetime storybooks for the next generation to see the glorious work the Lord can do in the life of a woman that loves God!
 
Begin thinking about what size album you would like to use for your My Lifetime Story challenge.   Michelle started hers in an 8x8 but now has decided that she needs more space so is moving up to a 12x12.  Sunny is doing hers 12x12 also because she knew she had a lot she wanted to fit into this album.  What size do you prefer?  Start gathering your supplies now so you will be ready to start when we kick off the first challenge January 6th!
 
Next week we will post a Photo List so you can start gathering photos that you will need for this challenge.

Thanks sisters!  Looking forward to jumping in with 2 feet on this one!

Awesome!  We are really excited about it too!  After much prayer we just felt this is the direction we needed to go in 2010.  So glad that others are excited about it too.

I love this idea!  Both of my parents are gone now and there's so many things I wish I could ask them about.  I wish they had done something like this.  I think I'll make one for each of my two sons that can be passed down to their kids.  Thanks for organizing this.

Evidently this is very important already to a lot of people---including me. My mom is still here so I would love Jacob to hear some of her memories of me when I was little as well. Maybe I will add some pages that would be from his grandmas perception.  So happy you are all doing this. Thank you so much.  _thebest Sometimes I think all I remember are the tough times and bad memories. It will be good to have some fun memories to put in this book.

I am going to grab the banner as soon as I get a chance.
