Hindsight Gives Us Insight Into God's Plans and Purposes for Our Life

In fifth grade, my teacher asked me to write a speech to give at a school assembly because he felt I was a good communicator for a ten-year-old. In high school, I was chosen to be the editor of my high school newspaper. When I became a Christian in my early twenties, I started writing newsletters, Bible studies, and evangelistic tracts. 

When I went to seminary, I was one of those few students who enjoyed essay exams. I also wrote an overview of the Bible for one of my classes and later used it for evangelistic seminars in Budapest, Hungary.

In 2011, I experienced a deep sorrow in my life, and I knew I'd be deeply depressed if I didn't focus on God's Word. That's when Bible Love Notes was born, and I learned how to write God's truth concisely in one-minute devotions.

In February 2023, Wisdom for Life will be published, my first book of 100 one-minute devotions based on Psalms and Proverbs. 

I didn't realize it when I wrote that fifth-grade speech, but it was the first of many things God used to prepare me for my present ministry.

God has used good experiences and bad experiences to teach me things I needed to learn (Romans 8:28). 

So let me encourage you: even if you can't see it at this point in your life, rest assured that you are "God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for [you] to do" (Ephesians 2:10).
