Welcome!
Welcome to Chosen’s Blog page, Chosen Pieces! We are so excited to have you join us as we share our unique God-given stories with you! We believe that there are parts to our on-going stories, however amazing or however painful, that can and should be used to be an inspiring message to another.
Several months ago, I read this quote from New York Times Bestselling Author, Lysa Terkeurst,
“GOD SEES THE EXACT PIECES AND PARTS THAT MUST BE ADDED
RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT US, PROVIDE FOR US AND PREPARE US.”
God is the author of our lives who is carefully writing out every small detail that inevitably connects to the bigger picture of our grand story. There are certain things that He purposefully omits because as an all-knowing loving Father, He knows it will not be in our best interest and then there are pieces that He willingly adds knowing it will make us a better version of ourselves. While we may not want a certain piece to be part of our story, that doesn’t mean we don’t need it to be part of our story-even if it’s to benefit someone else.
Every piece that we have lived out- surviving the Corona Virus pandemic; giving birth to a baby; owning a home & paying on a mortgage; remission after chemotherapy; graduating high school or college; overwhelmed by a betrayal or the loss of a loved one – is part of our bigger story and each piece that we had to endure was meant to protect us from the lies of the enemy because God will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are steadfast on Him (Isaiah 26:3). Each piece that we prayed for God to remove from our stories were meant to provide for us God’s deliverance in time of trouble and the heart to know Him in every moment (Jeremiah 24:7). And every piece we tried to ignore or deny was meant to prepare us for the new and the next things through the good works which He prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10).
You see, every piece is significant and has purpose and meaning, even when we can’t see it right now. Chosen Pieces, is just that. Pieces to our stories, as it relates to what we believe God may be doing in us and through us. Every week, you will get a glimpse into the lives of various writers who have committed to sharing their stories with you.
Writers who are choosing to actively live life in community with other women and who will confidently write about their unique purpose and design through their unfolding story.
We welcome you to join us in conversations and leave comments and feedback that will encourage all women to believe and speak.
