Change after a life crisis..........

autumn in germany

‎"You cannot go through a life-crisis and come out the other side unchanged.
The fire will consume or refine—devour or strengthen—but it must leave
its mark upon you. Adversity doesn't have to harm us, but it must alter
us. And you, of course, are the only one who gets to choose whether this
... change will be for the better or the worse...." ~ Rev. John Stumbo

God is........

…God Is
For every hectic day, God is your quiet rest.
For every painful experience, God is your healing touch.
For every disappointment, God is your certain hope.
For every turbulent storm, God is your calming peace.
For every hurtful action, God is your forgiving love.

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Psalm 146:5 AMP
