I am inviting you on a journey. Walk with me as I share how God has been transforming my life. When I found myself overcome by this world ready to give up I turned to the one true God. I surrendered my life to his son Jesus Christ and there I found redemption. Today, I am an overcomer not because of what I've done but rather what Jesus Christ did on the cross. My life is not easy but I belong to Jesus Christ and I am comforted by his words in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
One thing that amazes me is the unpredictability of this life. We fool ourselves into thinking we "know" what is going to happen in any particular day, month or year. But it is only God who knows these secret things.
Each day we have experiences and most of them we won't ever recall. Then there are those mind boggling unforgettable days that change the course of history. I call these profound events game changers. You know you will never be the same. Tragedy strikes, a loved one dies, you lose your job, a cancer diagnosis, you learn your spouse has been unfaithful. The list goes on and on. Turn on your T.V. or computer and you can't get away from it. The news is unforgiving highlighting tragedy after tragedy.
But I want to talk about something that isn't highlighted on the news. Game changers are not all bad. For those of us who know and love God and are called according to his purpose, God will take what the devil meant for evil and use it for good.
I have a secret.
What my Father has spoken to me in dark, I will speak in the daylight. What he has whispered in my ear, I will proclaim from the roofs.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 NIV

This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24 NIV
Life is unpredictable and tragedy strikes without warning. If you want peace in the midst of the storms of life, come and follow me and I will show you the God of all comfort who will never leave you or forsake you. I will introduce you to the great I AM. Praise be to the God who has comforted me in all my troubles, so that I can comfort those in trouble with the comfort I myself received from God.

“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light." Luke 11:33.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 NIV
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 NIV
A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way? Proverbs 20:24
