Tragedy To Triumph

Prompt: Chris asked us what tragedy situation we have had that God turned into triumph.

My husband and I had a house fire and we got a new house. I like the other house but this house is pretty and nicer. I have had past surgeries and almost died after a extensive bowel surgery but it bought me closer to God. My job in mental health closed but it was a way to retire. I have had leg pain and IBS so God knew it was time for me to retire. If the facility would have stayed opened, I would have still been there and not very happy. This is a triumph. My health is no longer permits me to hold down a job. I don't miss it. I would prefer good things in my life. I pray for God's help and guidance and I keep believing. He's got this.
