Redemption

Redemption

I love how our Father uses our own life experiences to bless and redeem others. It is

human to ask the "why me?" question when we endure trials and tribulations. The better

questions may be "why not me?" and "how can I help others through similar situations?".

            When I became a widow at the age of 42 with 2 children at home to raise, I saw how the

Lord worked things out for the good, even in a difficult situation. I began to dig into His Word to

address my "why me?" questions and he began to show how I could be used to encourage other

widows, widowers, and single parents.

 In the classroom, the Lord placed me in classrooms where I could support and encourage

children who had lost a parent. The Lord will redeem each of us and our life experiences when

we offer them to Him to use in His service.

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in

accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
