Day 1 – What’s Your Story?

This series is written in conjunction with the Write 31 Days Challenge and Five Minute Friday’s 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes. Each post in this series will be written in five minutes (or there abouts) based on a list of one word writing prompts that has been provided.

The suffering didn’t end either when it was over…it continued for years after when I tried to wrestle with what happened.

There are many people in this world that have experienced some form of brokenness in their lives..

neglect
abuse
death of a loved one
bullying
divorce

Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.

Philippians 1:12

We may be broken, but we are not beyond repair. We will be used again for something good. It may not be how we thought it would be. In fact, it will be for something better…to advance the gospel.
