Day 10: Have You Happened


HE HAPPENS.

And then we HAPPEN.

When we STOP.

But HE HAPPENS

even when we don't STOP

because

GOD never STOPS

pursuing HIS very own.

And that my friend is you & me & everyone else.

Why would GOD create someone HE didn't want?

Why would I take the time to go to a store to buy something

just to throw it out when I got home?

"The LORD is not slow in keeping HIS promise, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish,

but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9)

HE WAS THERE because HE IS HERE.

Even when I was running in the other direction.

HE never left me

HE was there in my past when I almost died as a baby

HE WAS THERE

when I was destroying myself with bulimia.

HE WAS THERE

when no one else was.

HE WAS THERE

when I would beat myself up because

I was seen and treated as unfavored.

HE WAS THERE

when Fear

would strive to get the best of me

HE WAS THERE.

HE found me.

And then I HAPPENED.

Because A REAL GOD who created me

PURSUED me.

But HE didn't STOP there

because HE knew I needed

JESUS.

Oh GOD got my attention

as I spent time with HIM to really get to know HIM,

once I realized that HE wanted me to come to HIM

as my IMPERFECT self.

Because who TRUSTS someone they don't know?

Well GOD never left me

and I wouldn't leave HIM

because

I liked who I was becoming in HIS PRESENCE.

Little 'ole IMPERFECT me

PURSUED by a PERFECT GOD

who introduced me to

HIS PERFECT SON

and then

I really HAPPENED.

Oh the rest of my story is HIS STORY

as

HE UNLEASHED ME

taking me from the

RAGS to RICHES~

Unforgiveness to FORGIVENESS

Unfavor to FAVOR

Fear to FREEDOM

For HE is my & yours

RESCUE STORY~

“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24)

Oh HE never gave up so why should we

because

HE is

IN THE MIDST OF OUR REAL LIFE STORIES

DESPITE WHATEVER OUR STORIES ARE.

HE is in the midst of our REAL LIFE STORIES.

I am so excited to share my REAL STORY

and for other women to share their REAL STORIES

as we gather together this Saturday

for the UNLEASHED Conference.

Oh I know HE WILL HAPPEN

because HE ALWAYS HAPPENS

big time

especially when 2 or more are gathered in HIS NAME.

Have you HAPPENED yet?

Pull up a chair.

And invite

GOD & HIS SON

because

in order for our REAL SELF

to HAPPEN

we have to admit we don't have it

"ALL TOGETHER" (listen to the song below)
