This post is a testament to seminarians everywhere who've ever been down to their last quarters.
I feel that writing about it helps me calm down a little bit more. Thanks goes out to Woods a guy that I'm privileged to call friend. He truly was Christ in a moment when I needed it the most.
A few too many debits coming at the same time have left me with little less than $10.00 to my name. I tell you that first because initially my first thoughts were(who has my account info and who is stealing my money). After digging a little deeper I discovered that all my savings had been transferred to cover all the debits.
Those of you who know me well know that I don't respond well to bad news. I tend to "lose it" but eventually I calm down enough to see reason. It was the words of my friend and his prayer that helped me. I was reminded of the opening lines of the Book of James and took encouragement from that so I will leave you with that hoping that if today or this week has been a struggle for you that you might take comfort or find encouragement just as I did
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4(NIV)
