Just recently, I relocated my entire life from Houston, TX to Chicago, IL. I never thought in million years that I would live in any place other than Houston, TX – although I said that I would a second office in San Diego, I never set the intention to leave Houston.
But in the past year, I had been asking God to elevate my life and my personal & professional relationships. Over the course of a year, my relationships began to shift, and change. I began to learn more about what I needed and desired from my relationships and my life. And eventually, due to circumstances outside of my control (which is God’s way of closing all doors and opening the one he wanted me to take) I was led to move to Chicago.
When I stopped fighting against such a drastic change in my life, I began to experience the miracles God had in store for me.
The biggest and most profound miracle in my life is my relationship with my parents. If you have read my book, Engineering Faith, you know that the relationship between my family and me has been strained for quite some time. And while I have learned to love and accept my family for who they are and where they are, I still longed for a closer relationship.
During my move from Houston to Chicago, my parents were there for a me in a way that I had never expected them to be. I was in shock, yet so completely grateful for the opportunity that I now have to develop a new relationship with my parents.
We still don’t always agree on everything, but now, we are able to pick up the phone and have a conversation about life – something that rarely happened before now.
I share this story to tell you that you never know what miracle God is positioning you to receive. But we are often so afraid of change – especially when God doesn’t share with us the whole picture of who, what, when, and why – that we resist what God is doing in our lives.
Stop resisting the change.
Stop asking God to show you the whole staircase before you’ll trust him enough to take the first step. The change that God is taking you through could be the very change you need to experience the answer to the prayers you’ve been believing for.
