A colleague recently wrote that they were feeling tired and blue. Does that sound familiar to you? It does to me. This is begins a series of what helps me. Everyone's different. What helps me might help you . . . and it might not.
For example, the Light does still shine in the darkness.
Specifically: A young Roma guy from the church in Vulcanesti, Moldova, only has 6 months left in his two-year pastor's training course. He and his wife had trouble making ends meet, and shortly before Christmas he thought he might need to break up his study to go work abroad. We prayed with our Moldovan partner Pastor Petru Ciochina about this. God reminded me of someone who had asked us to let her know if we ever had a specific need. We sent her an email the next day. She wrote back:
Thank you so much for letting me know of this need. I prayed to God that he would lay something in my heart to help someone in this season and then there is your email! HE is an amazing God and reaches across the oceans. I will mail a check today . . . .
The check covers the rent for the rest of this young man's study time.
