Philippians 3 is AWESOME! Because of this I am going to list a few verses from the chapter but believe me You are going to want to read the whole thing... I am being serious... Go get your bible... did you get it... well go... read it... Told you it was awesome!
7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.

As a child I was always fascinated with the launch of the space shuttle, and where it went to. I knew the people that went on the missions where special, and had an opportunity that most of us would never have.
There was even a part of me that wondered, I have never been to space, and I have never been to heaven, which lead me to wonder: if you are in a space shuttle does it pass heaven? When you go to heaven, do you get to go in the space shuttle? Then ultimatly it brought me to: What is heaven like?
Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like?
I still wonder to this day of what it will be like. I have read about it, but I believe no matter how much we imagine, God will blow our minds. The more I wonder the more I get excited about where God is taking us, and amazed that He chose us to be part of this "shuttle mission".
Take time to wonder about Heaven and the place God has prepared for us. (John 14:3)
How can I connect today's God's Story Scripture to my life?
Do you know that Paul wrote to the Philipians from prison saying, (v8) "I consider everything a lost compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ" Do you crave more passion for God today? ask for it.
We don't belong here, we belong to Christ, and one day we will be with Him in Heaven. (v14) So we press on, we get excited for life and what is to come. The message says (v14) is, "I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back."
Ask God today what running, and not turning back looks like in your life!

How Can I connect today's God's Story Scripture & My Story to others?
All Good things Come to an end, the Shuttle program ran for 30 years and just has 3 missions left. wow. They had the oppertunity to experience some amazing things in space. Ask your friends if they have ever experienced something they cannot explain? Or have they ever experienced something that was a once in a lifetime event? What was it like? How did they feel? Would they do it again if they could? Ask is there anything they are looking forward to, like if there was anything that they thought would be amazing to do, but have not had the chance to do or go to yet?
Talking about heaven is not always easy. Pray about talking to friends today that God has been laying on your heart. Talk about what you look forward to seeing, what you think heaven could be. Ask what they might imagine heaven to be?
