Hello all! I pray that you are all doing well today.
I would like to share with you one example of how God turns our bad situation into good. God never intends for us to go through hard times alone. When we have Him in our lives and we glorify Him through every thing that we go through, sometimes what we see is that what we thought was a bad situation, turns into the greatest blessing.
One thing that really made this hit home for me was right before my son started school this year. My vehicle broke completely down with no hope of getting fixed. I was so angry and upset, I really didn't act very Christ-like, I through a temper tantrum when my husband told me that it would just cost too much to fix. So I decided that I would have to deal with it and I would have to get up every morning and walk my son to school. This has turned out to be the greatest blessing imaginable. Spending this extra time with my child has brought us closer than I could have ever hoped for.

Not only that, but it gives me more time to glorify God and being outside in the morning and seeing the dawn of a new day, just opens my heart for more worship. And now that I don't have a vehicle it actually gives my husband and I more time together. We have but one vehicle now and were forced to go places together, as a family. God really turned what I thought was bad into something wonderful! Praise God! Would you like to share how you personally have experienced God?

Yes. I believe that is God's specialty. We make decisions every day and some are not the best ones. I've made a couple that have cost me great deal of sorrow and tears that only God knows. I know it was my fault. But in the midst of it all, a lot of good things have come out of that, and I know things have not gotten worst because in His grace, He has caused that the curse turn into blessings. The wonderful thing about this all is that it is not a blessing because I did something to make it a blessing, but it is a blessing because of a direct intervention from Him who is able and powerful to change everything. Now, that's not a license to go do whatever, but it does show that He loves us and He takes care of us even when we may fail.

Dear Cat: I had a experience with the miscarriage of our daughter johanna belle. I was 5 months along and we were at a family reunion and i wasnt feeling very well, and i went to the bathroom and realized right then and there i was having a miscarriage, my husband took me to the er and it was too late and i had to have a emergency d/c and a couple of weeks later i required a hysterectomy, giving us no hope of ever having a child of our own...
this nearly tore apart my marriage and i was angry and hurt and felt let down by god, but i never lost faith... well 6 months after our daughter was to be born, my husband and i were asked to take in some foster children who were living with a drug addicted mother who beat one into submission and neglected the infant who was 6 months old... we said yes and never looked back, we have raised these children as our own and have full permanent custody of these boys and they are now healthy and active 10 and 6 yrs old... we still miss our little girl and wonder who she would of looked like but we know when we get to heaven when the trumpet sounds she will be in her grandpas arms waiting for us ... god bless you all and especially you cat and i hope u have a safe and blessed night... kelly

Yes, I recently had surgery, and due to a major careless mistake by the surgeon, I came close to loosing my life. It took two more surgeries to correct the problem and a lot of time in the hospital in a lot of pain. It was not very much fun, but during the time in the hospital, my roommate was asking questions about Christ - she was 89. I was happy to witness to her and she accepted the Lord.
The surgeon that caused all the complications was amazed that I was so forgiving after her mistake. And guess what? She was Muslim. I explained to her about Christians forgiving others because we are forgiven by God. I do hope that I planted a seed.
Also, my husband is a lot more appreciative of me since the illness. I might add that through it all, I had a sense of peace and was very comforted that Christ was always there to hold my hand.
Blessings
Kait.

This is a great question! I have an example for you. I have osteoarthritis in both my knees basicly I have no cartlidge in either of them. I also have Fibromyalgia and possibly chronic fatigue. For several years I fought the thoughs of not being able to work because of the constant pain in standing, walking and sitting. I kept fight the feeling that God was telling me to stop and come home and let him take care of me. After 2 years of fighting my husband came to me one day and said I was working in pain and that when I got home there was nothing left for him and the kids. He told me to come home. I said no and I tried a sit down job...that would be easier..it took me 2 months for the pain to get the best of me. I quit. I have been home now for 4 months and things have changed so much. Yes I still have the pain to deal with and I have days were I cant get off the couch, But I am at home with my 2 kids and my energy is on them now. I have a better relationship with God and I firmly believe He brought me to this place for that reason I am learning to lean on Him the way I should. No I dont like the pain I always feel, my fibro attacks are not fun, but I have learned what it is to always have joy in my life. I am thankful for the path that I have came down, it was for my good and thank God He knew what was best for me all along!

I think your outlook on this is wonderful and thank you for sharing this with us.
Several years ago I went through a divorce and it was very devestating for me at the time, I thought how unfair. I was left to raise two children. While married I knew God had a call on my life, but I chose to disobey. After my divorce, I drew close to God and in 2003, I was filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues.
I know it was not God's will for my divorce because marriage is ordained by God, but through this horrible situation I have come to know and love God.

Love the question What this internet site has taught me is that there is lots lack of expertise with regard to the Bible and Jesus. i like to work out the be attentive to affection triumph over the detest of a few and each and each time any authentic believer testifies in some way or makes use of the be conscious a seed is planted. Our activity is to hold the be conscious no longer supply a upward thrust.

Yes, when we grow in Grace, we learn to be patient and give God time to react to the situation. I have experience this many time, where i see something bad, but I wait patiently to see how God can use the situation.
