“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” Romans 8:28 AMP
Up until I was 8 years old, I lived with my grandmother in a very dangerous part of St. Louis. I was not allowed to play with other children. I skipped kindergarten but had to go to school for first grade. (As you can see, I was very protected.) My mother went to a Luthern school and pleaded with them to accept me if she would give “what she could”. They agreed. It was during these years that I learned about Jesus and asked Him into my heart. It is amazing how God can take any circumstances and work them together for good!
Love, Cindy

Ah… the good old Lutheran’s. When I was in junior high school the Lutheran’s were the only protestant church that did scripture in schools. Memories…
