New Normal

Oh, do I have a story .....

A story that has been thirteen long, long years in the making that I am busting at the seams to tell. Alas, the Lord has not yet released me with the gift of sharing.

BUT ..... I can share what I'm learning while I'm waiting.

First ..... I am ..... are the two most powerful words in the English language for a child of God, because whatever comes after those two words is absolutely beyond a doubt going to show up manifested in this life.

Yet ..... is a very close second to that on the list of the most powerful words in the English language for a child of God! Yet begets hope in any situation where we are waiting for the manifestations of the promises of God in our lives. It turns the downtrodden "it hasn't happened" into a hope filled "it hasn't happened YET", which strengthens faith to levels most folks never seek.

I started noticing the magnificence of the differences when someone posted a "new normal"post on facebook that was a big bunch of "it is what it is" events that had nothing joyful or uplifting in it, and I wondered why it seems to be that anytime someone mentions a "new normal"it's always bad news that no one ever wants but is forced to deal with because it has happened.

So ..... I thought about that ..... and I thought, ok ..... here's my definition of the Kalena New Normal ..... I am restored to the health AND weight of my youth ...... all restorations and renovations on our house ARE finished ..... our vehicles are upgraded ..... and we are billionaires.

Essentially what I have decided and set my heart and mind to is the expectation that every promise God has made to me, every promise Jesus died to gift to me, every promise the Holy Spirit has lead me to, IS going to come to me pass in my life in THIS life!!!!! Six thousand years worth of promises manifested on this side of heaven ..... IN MY LIFE!

I don't deserve it .... there's nothing I ever could do or ever can do to deserve ANY of it. All of it came as a gift to me when I received THE GIFT ..... the FREE gift of salvation with Christ's finished work at Calvary. All of these things are in my inheritance package, because of Jesus. ALL Him ..... NONE of me!

Glory Hallelujah!
