It's Not All Flowers & Butterflies

Welcome to Gigi Renfroe's blog!

It took me 46 years to come to Christ. I was the last person people would think would be a Christian but as soon as I did my life transformed quickly. God was putting assignments on my life and I was just an obedient servant. I went from being an alcoholic with no hope to being a Bible Study teacher, marrying a wonderful Godly man and writing a book. Those are some of the sweet points but there were storms and trials in between. Lots of them. And they continue to happen now.

My book was raw and real about my past and how I came to Christ. I bared it all as I dug into parts of myself I had not even remembered in years but as I sat down and let the Spirit lead me, I knew I had to say things in my testimony that broken people like me could understand. Life in the world was rough but my Savior made a way. Life as a Christian is rough too, but now that I found the way with my Savior even my greatest days as an unbeliever can never compare to a bad day with hope as a Christian. That is what I pray for everyone to understand now.

I just want to be raw and real about life here on this blog. I don't know what I am going to say on here as this is another step into the unknown for me but what I do know is the Lord led me here. To be truthful about Him and His greatness and how He gets us through the good times and the bad. The Christian life is not all flowers and butterflies. But God never said it would be.

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”" John 16:33 (NLT)
