Chapter 34
Last week, I wrote about delays, and now I find myself six days behind schedule. As this week comes to a close, and we take time to rest and prepare for the next, I wanted to share a brief but inspiring thought from Taras in Ukraine. Even in times of delay and uncertainty, there\u2019s strength in reflection and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these times of ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the words of Psalm 13:1 resonate deeply: \u201cHow long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?\u201d The pain of feeling abandoned and the desperate longing for divine intervention are echoed in the heartbreaking story of Melissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born on July 6 to Helga and Andriy, Melissa entered this world on the same day that Andriyko her uncle was fatally wounded and died due to the war. In their family, joy and grief have intertwined like light and shadow. \u201cTo everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die\u2026\u201d Melissa\u2019s birth, coinciding with Andriyko\u2019s tragic death, feels like a poignant sign from the Lord. It is as if the outgoing and incoming generations, the protector and the protected, crossed paths for a brief moment, passing the baton of life amidst the chaos. Taras M. Dyatlyk, Ukraine
