Did you have a bad week? Or maybe a few bad weeks?

I know for me, there have been some bad weeks at various times these last two years.

However, this week's podcast guest, Steve Montgomery, gave me a new perspective on what a bad week is.

In 2009, Steve had 3 awful events take place in a matter of 10 days!

First, his wife calls him informing him that she just had just miscarried their first baby.

The very next day, Steve was a part of a mass layoff at work.

So unemployed and grieving the loss of their first child, Steve then receives more heartbreaking news.

His dad died!

A miscarriage, a job loss, and a father's death is a pretty  week!

I don't know how I would have responded if I was in his shoes. Maybe depression, drunkenness, or just slothfulness.

However, my hope is by listening to today's podcast, we all respond the way Steve did.

He responded as a victor and not a victim.

A favorite verse of mine lately is Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good"

Steve put his faith in that verse back then. Forwarding now to  2022, he can say how God used all those stories for good.

Such a great podcast!
