What changes lives? (31 Questions)

by Karmen |

“I opened the Bible and my life changed.”

 

Were the words I heard from a sweet soul just last night.

 

What changes lives?

 

Lots of things changes people.

 

Babies are born.

 

Loved ones pass.

 

Promotions come and jobs go.

 

Circumstantial changes are inevitable.

The weather (particularly in Alabama) is rarely the same from hour to hour.  How’s 20 degrees colder this morning than yesterday morning for an example?

 

But,  what changes lives?

 

Here’s 4 that have and continue to change me

  • GOD- Seriously, because He’s God and He can.
  • The Word-  It’s alive.  For real.  Open it up, read it, you’ll see.
    • For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

 

  • Prayer- Simple conversations between God and me have left my heart forever changed.
  • People.  YOU ARE WHO YOU HANG AROUND.  It’s just that simple.

 

It’s not too late to share your responses…

 

Today’s questions will be up later this afternoon because this little writing challenge has my heart and head whirling…

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅
