The Backstory
Intro
Crystal McDowell provides the backstory to her new book, Seriously God? Spiritual Insights when Life Suddenly Changes. This intro precludes the other sections of God’s Got It, Gotta have Friends, and Go for Broke.
Gods Got It
We know that God has the whole world in His hands…but do we believe that He has our situation under control? We can experience tremendous peace in the midst of great difficulty once we’ve settled in our hearts that God is in control.
Gotta Have Friends
God blesses us with friends so that we don’t have to make this Christian journey all by ourselves. Instead of isolating ourselves in times of pain, we can experience the blessings of friendships through difficult transitions.
Glimpses of Grace
God’s grace is His unmerited favor to those who belong to Him. His grace is more than enough to provide everything we need to make it through the tough days of the unknown.
Go For Broke
Have you ever been at that place of all or nothing with God? Sometimes you need to give it everything you have until nothing is left but your faith in God. He will never fail you.
