The Good in Every Situation: Uncle Winnie

What is one situation or experience in your life where circumstances looked bleak, but God pulled you through?

"The time in my life when I knew God was beginning a new work in me was in 1989, after learning I could no longer be a firefighter and my marriage collapsed. I'd sort of given up and felt my life was over.

It was through conversations with one of my best friends indirectly telling me what I needed to do with my life. All of Proverbs 4 pretty much explains what the Lord was putting on my heart at this time. Tapping into my memory bank of what my Granny had taught us through the years, Bible studies and being put in the presence of good, sincere Christian people has been the spring board that keeps me seeking more of God.

Now after being saved 20 years and 18 years serving in musical and spoken word ministry, I'm still hungry for more of Him."

Editor's Note: My Uncle Winnie responded to this on May 17, 2007. A singer with the contemporary gospel group, "Rushing Wind," he enjoyed prison ministry and loved music.
He passed away unexpectedly August 8, 2007, at the age of 61.
You are loved and missed very much, Uncle Winnie.
