In reply to Crystal Twaddell. I think it's sometimes easier for me NOT to notice these flips than to notice them, but yes, when we pay attention, they are great faith builders in what our awesome God can and will do for us! Thanks, Crystal.

In reply to Elizabeth. I'm glad he's so much smarter than we are. :) If I always got what I *thought* I needed, my life would be a huge mess by now.

In reply to Ceil. Yes, those kind of friends are a treasure to be cherished! I've been blessed to have those in my life and I never want to take them for granted. Gifts from God to be sure.

In reply to Dave Arnold. Exactly. And if it was anybody but God, I'd probably get mad at some of the switcheroos (well, not that I don't get mad at him sometimes anyway). :) I'm glad he knows what he's doing more than I do.

Lisa, I love this perspective, and I even think we should pray for flips….what a faith builder as we watch Him work for His glory! You brought to mind several instances for me to think about that maybe I just took for granted. Dropping by from #TellHisStory, and so glad I did!

God is so gracious to provide what we really need, even if we ourselves don’t know what it really is!

Hi Lisa! What a gift God has given you in your friends. I am sorry that your trip didn’t work out as you wanted. I know you had been feeling stressed lately…and so God gave you a bonus! A friend who knows you so well that you can truly be yourself. Warts and all.
Those people are few and far between. And they are the shining stars in our day. So glad God ‘flipped’ it all for you. He is so good 🙂
Blessings,
Ceil

I like this Lisa – God most certainly does know how to turn on a flip. I often think He’s taking me one way, and then come discover it’s a completely different way. Keeps us guessing, right?

In reply to Dawn Paoletta (@breathoffaith). Ooh, I'm sure that story you'll write will be a great one! I hope I get to read it. You're always so encouraging, Dawn. Thanks for stopping by.

Ha! I was not so sure where this was going and then: FLIPS! I so agree, God is so good at flipping. Especially when I don’t flip out in the meantime. Lisa, you always bring a smile and a bit of sunshine to my day. Thanks for that. And for getting me focused on His flips, not my flip outs! I also have to write a piece for Writer’s Group (local in real life) this week. And the theme is similar…when a bad decision made a good story…I can just see a story with a flip coming! 🙂
