Oh, and be a good girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve all told the back stories \u2013 some shocking, all unique, some with a few facts omitted. Stirring inside our beings is a different side of the story \u2013 the real story, the story from God\u2019s perspective as opposed to how we\u2019ve been telling it. The theme of this story is no longer shameful or embarrassing or prideful because it is a story of joy and excitement based on God\u2019s gifts of forgiveness and redemption. We are retelling our story from a place of restoration instead of confession. How about changing our perspective, the way we tell our stories? This simplistic structure works for me: <\/p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Quit telling the old version.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Ask God to reveal a new version.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Stick with the facts, but look at them from God\u2019s perspective.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Be authentic in the telling, but exchange embarrassment or shame for peace and gratefulness because of what God has done.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Tell of the gifts of forgiveness and redemption you\u2019ve received. Retell your story with a voice of joyful restoration.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Life is good, and it can be better as our perspective aligns with God\u2019s.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Jan_Kent_2019.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11985\" width=\"342\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Jan Kent, an Open Bible credentialed minister, received a B.A. in organizational leadership from George Fox University in Oregon and certification as a life coach.
