Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. – Romans 12:2 NIV
Welcome to my first-ever blog. I hope you will find it inspiring, yet practical. I’ve entitled my blog Life Happens because that is what happens to all of us! Sometimes life happens with positive things…other times they are downright difficult and heart-breaking.
Our choice is how we are going to respond to what’s going on. Get upset? Blame someone or something? Throw a party? Praise God? It’s our personal choice as to how we are going to view what’s happening. It’s all about our mind’s perspective.
Those of you who know me know that I look for God in the midst of everything that is happening. I have a large sticky note on the fridge in my kitchen that says, “GOD’S GOT THIS”. When good things are happening, it’s easy to see God’s hand in things. That’s when it’s easy to praise and exalt our heavenly father. When hard times hit, it’s difficult to see what God is up to.
Yet I always believe He is there. It’s during the tough stuff that our faith is really tested. Often times, just like an inquisitive student, I find myself thinking, “What is He trying to show me now?” Sometimes it takes trial and error to discern God’s plan for us.
We will look at various ‘life happenings’ in this blog, as well as ideas I’ve found to help keep you moving forward with faith. I am a group fitness instructor by profession. So every other week, I will give you fitness tips to keep you strong and flexible, and ready for whatever life throws at you.
I will end each blog with a prayer that speaks to what we have been discussing.
Dear Lord,
Please give me Your anointing to speak to those reading my blog. Life happens to all of us. Give me the courage and wisdom to speak Your truth. We all want to experience a happy life of purpose. Help me to show others that IS possible…even when it’s not the life they dreamed of.
I know! I know! We’re not supposed to live by our feelings. Please show me how to put YOU first in all I do. Then I can share that wisdom with others.
So welcome to Life Happens! I pray that you will receive inspirations here that will transform your mind!
