Each
week during this series, we’re asking a different question that will help us
decide what to do when faced with unexpected circumstances. This week’s
question is: What story do I want to tell? We can either make
decisions that force us to lie about certain chapters in our lives, or make
decisions we can stand proudly behind. Which of these options do you want to be
part of the story you tell?

Throughout our lives, we are confronted with decisions we never anticipated having to make Relationship decisions. Career decisions, Financial decisions, Parenting decisions... The list goes on and on. To complicate matters further, the timeframe for making a decision is often short and our options limited. But regardless, a decision must be made. So what do you do when it's decision time and you aren't sure what to do? Option 1: Buy a Magic 8-Ball, OR Option 2: Ask, “Am I being completely honest with myself?”

“I
want to give all the glory to God,” says the winning quarterback during the
post-game press conference.
Though those words might sound insincere from overuse, why is he intent on
passing on the glory?
Why not just take all the credit for your accomplishments? Why pass it on?

It happens again and again: people go
through the most difficult circumstances imaginable, and come out on
the other side with rock-solid, unshakable faith.
As they describe their
stories later, they say, "I wouldn't have signed up for it; I wouldn't choose to go
through it again; and I wouldn't wish it on anybody else. But God
did something in the middle of those circumstances that I don't
think he could have done any other way."
Our faith is
permanently impacted by these big, bad, bold, unexpected circumstances. And that's not
accidental; it's intentional on God's part.
We naturally resist
discipline. Recognizing that and meeting it head-on is good, because faith is
like a muscle; the more you exercise it-stretch it, exhaust it-the
stronger it becomes.
Relationships always impact our
faith, for good or for bad. We can trust God to bring people into our lives
whose influence can help our faith grow strong, if we allow that to
happen.
