Unstoppable Change

Change Is hard sometimes. I think most people read into it the wrong way. They feel they have to change who they are and everything about themselves. but that’s not really change. That’s removing yourself out of the equation all together. That’s not the change I’m talking about. Change doesn’t mean forgetting who you are.

Unstoppable Change is taking who you are and perfecting yourself. You know that nagging voice in your head telling you to stop doing something or start doing something. Like your mom nagging you to not be s messy or get off your PS4 or phone. That’s small changes that teach you responsibility.

What about those big changes that impact your life. Those are the changes that seam impossible. Maybe alone they are. With the right support system behind you and a focused mind to be a better you, anything is possible. The right change can make you unstoppable in your future.

An example of an Unstoppable Change in someone’s life is my boyfriend Jamie. Not to be bias, but lets face it, this whole website is about people changing and impacting my life so I’ll take the win.

Jamie was an addict for 22 years. Now clean for 7 years he has worked hard to better his life and his walk with God. He has taken each storm that has come his way and pushed himself to fly above it. This does not mean he didn’t fall or make any mistakes along the way. He did. We all do, even I did. Each storm he went through taught him something and he chose to learn from it instead of pushing it as aide.

Don’t look at your storms as a hindrance. But look at them as a challenge to except or a stepping stone to your next chapter. Except the challenge to make a change and see the amazing things that could come out of it.

Jamie made the choice to except the challenge, and not just changed his physical appearance and work towards being a bodybuilder, but he strengthened his spiritual and mental well being as well. I couldn’t be more proud of the man he has become and the man he is still working to become. Addiction can follow you for the rest of your life if you let it define you. With a strong hold on the Bible and a close walk with God you can defeat it.

All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me.

Jamie has started a Ministry called Unstoppable Change. This is a place where he will post his journey to becoming a pro bodybuilder with a Godly testimony. He wants others to know that they don’t have to go through the storms alone and there are recourses out there to help you. Never be ashamed to ask for help.

Both Jamie and I have walked into this chapter in our lives unaware of what God was up to. But that’s the whole point. God never tells you exactly what he is up to. Like bringing 2 friends together in their 40s. I mean when we met we just clicked as friends but we where both in different places in our lives to see that there could be more to our friendship.

You see what happened? God aloud us to be friend first. Which made everything else go so much smother and was exactly what we needed. God knew that I needed someone that understood my story and that trauma is part of my past. God knew that addiction was apart of Jamie’s past and he needed someone that understood his story and the struggles that come with that. That’s where letting us be friend first made the difference. Not just that but at the right time in our lives. Even if that means we had to wait.

Now, My longing to be a Proverbs 31 woman and prayer worrier for a Godly man can fall into place. Sometimes waiting is exactly what we need in that specific moment in our lives. So don’t stop pushing to be a better you. Remember, there is light at the end of the tonal and a chapter that you just cant miss. 1 broken and abusive marriage 2 kids and 16 years of putting myself back together. I’m finally feeling Gods unfailing love and promise for my life. Not just my life but Jamie’s as well.

Now our chapters are not done yet. But now we can encourage and support each other and know we are not going through the storms alone.

Don’t be afraid to make the changes to be a better you. If you need help you know who to ask.
