Reflecting on the truths of Ephesians 2:10, Romans 8:28 and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 this week have me realizing how Jesus has taken my twenty-four years of experience helping refugees and given me transferable skills as they relate to helping Americans who have experienced trauma.

Ephesians 2:10- For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Romans 8:28- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 – Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

God has taken my past experience in life of experiencing three areas of trauma, my experience of finding healing in Jesus, the writing ability he has given me, and my experience of helping refugees, and combined them for me to be able to help people who experience trauma.

At a time of life when most people would be thinking about retirement and relaxation, God is calling me to new areas of ministry. When I first wrote Jesus Understands Trauma, my only thought was to put into writing what has helped me. I did not envision God connecting me with people through it and helping them directly.

God is not done with me yet. I am still in process. Anyone who comes to know Jesus is always in process in this life.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

    February’s Blessings and Reminders – Bridget A. Thomas

    […] Stepping Stones – There were several days in February when I had internet issues. Since I work from home, this is a big deal. I figured out how to use my iPhone as a hot spot. But it only worked for my iPad. My laptop wouldn’t connect to it. Something to do with iCloud, I think? My iPad screen is smaller than my laptop. Also I don’t have a mouse for my iPad. But I do have a wireless keyboard I can use. Overall, it wasn’t ideal. However, despite the frustrations, I was amazed that I was able to work. I was amazed with things God helped me learn long ago, which was groundwork for me in this situation. I don’t consider myself to be a techy. I have a nephew who can spin circles around me in that department. So figuring out how to do things with limitations of not using all the tools that I am used to was a victory. This reminded me that God uses the things in our lives as stepping stones. Some things that I learned over twenty years ago came to light. (Matt over at Jesusluvsall had a posted this week that also resonated with this theme – God Never Stops Working in our Lives.) […]
