Day 1: Life Changer

We all have a REAL LIFE.
We all have a REAL STORY.
And when a REAL GOD enters into your
REAL LIFE STORY
it becomes
A LIFE CHANGING story
because HE is our LIFE CHANGER.
Now when you read the words
LIFE CHANGING
they can mean oh so good or not so good.
I heard a not so good
LIFE CHANGING story
where this woman's life is CHANGED forever,
yet
she is beyond THANKFUL in the moment
despite that her LIFE has CHANGED.
This circumstance has
forced her to CHANGE
because she has no choice
but to CHANGE
&
to RECEIVE the CHANGE.
We all have the LIFE CHANGING
that hits us from left field~
The
UN~ANTICIPATED
The
UN~EXPECTANT
The
UN~BELIEVABLE~
that never leaves us the same
because that is why it is called
LIFE CHANGING
because
something has to CHANGE
and that something is you.
But you can't do it on your own.
So you look up
and say
THANK YOU GOD
so
your LIFE CHANGING
becomes
GOD'S STORY
as
the UN~ANTICIPATED now becomes
ANTICIPATED IN HIM
as you are
"constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ]..."*
And THE UN~EXPECTED becomes EXPECTED IN HIM
as you are~
"steadfast and patient in distress..."*
And THE UN~BELIEVABLE becomes
BELIEVABLE IN HIM
as you are
"devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength]" *(Romans 12:12).
Oh how we don't like the not so good circumstances
that puts us in our
LIFE CHANGING ,
but oh how
GOD
is always playing a bigger part in our STORY
&
that is why HE makes it
LIFE CHANGING~
"And we know [with great confidence] that GOD [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love GOD, to those who are called according to HIS plan and purpose" (Romans 8:28 AMP)
Therefore
THANK YOU GOD
even in the midst of the
LIFE CHANGING
because
GOD never changes
but changes us
because
HE IS
GOD"STILL MY GOD" ("AMADEO", listen to the song below)
