Every (yes, every) situation can work for our good

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those who are called according to His purpose."

In fall 2007, I embarked on a writing project that the Lord placed on my heart.

My career has been in newspaper reporting for nearly two decades, and at that time, I felt I was taking a new step of faith in my writing.

The purpose of this series of entries is simply sharing stories of other people. Their trials, their adversities, and shine a light on where God was in the midst of these experiences. These experiences are based on Romans 8:28, which is seen above.

I sent letters to several folks, asking the following: "What is one situation or experience in your life where circumstances looked bleak, but God pulled you through?"

I asked those who responded to my request to be led by the Holy Spirit in giving their testimonials.

I thank each and every participant for their submissions. I believe thoroughly that these stories, these shared experiences, will be a hope, help, and encouragement to other people, both believers and non-believers in Christ, who are going through challenges in life.

May the Lord use this blog and these experiences in this new project for HIS glory.

Readers may find these posts on this blog, under postings named "The Good in Every Situation."
