A reading guide
Five gentle practices drawn from the themes of When the Story Changes, for the chapter you did not plan and cannot yet fully understand.
Unexpected change can leave us grieving the future we thought we knew. These reflections do not offer a formula or promise a quick resolution. They offer a calm place to begin: honestly, prayerfully, and one page at a time.
Faith does not require pretending that loss, fear, or disappointment is easy. Lisa's testimony makes room for questions, tears, exhaustion, and prayer. Naming what changed can be the first faithful step toward carrying it with God.
Unexpected change can make the whole future feel uncertain. The book returns to trust as a daily posture: asking for enough grace, wisdom, and courage for the page in front of you rather than demanding the entire story at once.
Prayer, worship, journaling, and Scripture became practical lifelines in Lisa's caregiving and grief. A small repeatable rhythm can give fear somewhere to go and help the heart remember what it believes.
Choosing joy is not the same as suppressing sorrow. In Lisa's story, rejoicing lives beside mourning. Joy becomes an act of trust while grief is still treated with tenderness and truth.
Pain is not erased, but it does not have to receive the final word. Over time, testimony can become service, encouragement, and a legacy that helps another person believe there may still be a next chapter.
“Your story is not over. You are about to turn the page.”
Lisa A. Morrison, When the Story Changes
Lisa's complete testimony includes fourteen chapters, reflection prompts, prayers, journaling invitations, and Scripture-based decrees.
