He Will Rewrite Your Story

Whatever your story, God can rewrite it. However long you have been in your situation, God can turn things around in your favour. Abraham waited for 25 long years but he finally received the gift of a child. The woman with the issue of blood for years was instantly healed and made whole with a touch of the hem of His garment.

The Lord Jesus himself was in the tomb for three days but he came back to life! All these speak of God’s power over every force that threatens your well being.

Whatever is holding you down, trying to block your destiny, or creating roadblocks in your progress, it WILL let go.

You will be free, you will be restored, and you will be victorious. All you need to do is to completely surrender to His authority. The Lord says, “If you believe, you will see the glory of God” – John 11:40.

All you need is to hand your cares over to Him and in faith let Him re-write your story.

*The Bad Days

Everyone has a bad day...being a Christian woman and mom isn't about being perfect and always having days full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s about those days where you want to just pull the covers over your head and call in sick. It's those days when you stuck your foot in your mouth or you over-reacted and wished that you could jump in a time machine and turn back time. Like...to back when you were a teenager!

Your battle scars – the bad days, the imperfect moments, the times where you were overwhelmed will become the stories that you will ultimately share to teach others. They will be the words of wisdom that you whisper to that new mom about being brave and it will be the story that you tell to that newlywed who just got married and laugh together about your mis-adventures as a new wife. Our bad days often times become our best memories of lessons learned.

Our bad days are in reality pathways to our good days. How would you ever even know if it was a really, really good day if it wasn't for the bad ones?? And believe me...I have had some really bad ones! If today was one of those bad days for you.... just remember that today was just part of your story....but it isn't your whole story. Tomorrow is full of new and wonderful possibilities to get it right...not perfect...but right. So sleep well tonight and know that His mercies are new every morning and open your eyes tomorrow with a clean slate and an opportunity for a do-over.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘“The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” (Lamentations 3:22-24).

*Waiting

God wants us to know that waiting is FAR from a passive activity in which we do nothing. In fact,

Scripture teaches us that God wants us to actively participate in the work He desires to accomplish. Waiting strategically can cultivate good things in our lives such as patience, perseverance, and endurance. Waiting also draws us closer to God and points those who are watching us to the the one who has the answers.
Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage....Proverbs 27:14
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
We have a choice, a decision, and a way of life to choose. What are you opening your heart, your mind, and your soul to encounter in the hard and stressful moments of life? I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in my life and hopefully others will see it as well.
