what type of crucible events have you had in your life?
I have lots of crucible events had in my life. When me and my family gave our life to Jesus, my family got baptized in water, de cited to follow Jesus and I know Satan will attack us. September 1st,2023, in the morning, me and he kids had a prayer before kids go to work. Psalms 91, veering comes, we had a phone call, my son had an accident, with his, motorbike, he got run over by a truck, broken bones but God spare his life, 2 weeks in the hospital, in 4 months, we gave him the blessing to play hockey. Our God is a healer. Because I want to experience his healing power.
I serve at church as a Board, on fire with Jesus. Doing great in the kingdom of God, and one thing I did, I posted something in facebook, and went to wrong understanding, went to the wrong point of view, received a harsh messages. I got hurt but I prayed and ask Gods guidance, God speak to me, to go to them and talk, ask Forgiveness, so I went to them and ask forgiveness.
How these events have formed you?
-showed me I am helpless, nothing but our God is big God.
– That we could trust him for everything.
– people are watching us, we are the light, and in our weaknesses, The Holy Spirit will give us strength.
– humbleness, we are not perfect,we need Jesus,in everything.
– in times of troubles, he is our strongholds.

I have a lot of these moments, but thruogh it all, God’s been faithfull, He been actively dealing and throwing the negative sides out, so i can continue to trust and depend on Him.
My life is a testimony for others that God, loves, directs, preserves, saves, and much more like a good father.
Praise God.

The crucible events in my life (e.g. painful family situations; juggling work/study; a shocking betrayal by a pastor that shook up a church I was serving at; immigrating to a new country and adopting to a new language/culture) have shaped me to rely completely on the LORD as my shield, defender, protector, and provider. It has also given me deep compassion and empathy for the suffering of others.

I have allot of these moments but through it all God is growing me to more maturity and refining the negative qualities out – so I can trust him more. But my life is a testimony for others that God loves like a good good father and with that love growth comes. Truth in Love
