I don't believe in coincidences

Yep, this is true for RG. We don't believe in coincidences but in God things. We just like to call them "God stories". You know what I am talking about. The times when something happens and the world would say,"wow you are lucky!" but we say," wow we serve a mighty God". This has happened to us a lot lately but we want to share this one first and have more for later....

We met a girl at Impact named Alexandra. She went to our class and afterwards came to us and said she wrote poems and we might want to take a look. We did and this is what we found in her book:

Six of us sitting ‘round the circle,
Expressing all of our feelings.
Some tears mix with laughter,
And the mood lifts from gloom and doom
To happy and cool.
But everyone is being helped by this,
Understanding and knowing what they need to fix,
Or need to stop thinking of themselves,
As ugly, or fat.
Because we all think everyone’s beautiful,
And so does God.
So next time you have friend over,
Sit ‘round a circle and express your feelings.

Yep! This is what we read. We really were in shock. Did she know that we had 6 girls on our RG team at that time? Did she know we actually did sit and talk about this? Did she know our class was going to be about self image? NO, she didn't. Crazy, huh? So, we read more poems and all of them are great. We are going to start posting some, but for now this is the one we want you to hear. God does think you are beautiful. He knit you and created you just the way you are. Check out Psalm 139 if you don't believe us.

Thanks Alexandra Burton from North Caroline for sharing your talents!

We want to hear your "God stories", so tell us some!

Stay REAL!
