Nose Bleed and Fatigue

Joshua reporting (again):

Brianne had a pretty bad nose bleed yesterday and spent most of the day at the hospital (after just getting out). The ordeal made her very tired and down. After the nose bleed, Brianne began feeling sad and thinking more about leukemia, the side effects, and the general state of her being which was a bit depressing. Keep her in your prayers for the physical, spiritual, and emotional side effects of this entire affair. She has a doctor's appointment on Thursday and maybe we'll get some good news and a possible date for transplant.

As the years go by, life continually emphasizes to me just how powerless I truly am. I have come to realize that the only power I have is that which enables me to hand over my inabilities to God. In fact, a few months ago I read a devotional which sort of summarized how I feel about this and I thought, "That's it! That's exactly how it is!" Here is the devotional:

"A man once asked Dwight L. Moody, 'How can you accept the Bible with all its mysteries and contradictions, you with your fine mind?'

Moody replied, 'I don't explain it. I don't understand it. I don't make anything of it. I simply believe it.'

In his classic book, 'Prayer,' Dr. O. Hallesby echoed this attitude. He wrote, 'Prayer and helplessness are inseparable. Only he who is helpless can truly pray.... Prayer (therefore) consists simply in telling God day by day in what ways we feel helpless. We are moved to pray every time the Spirit of God, which is the Spirit of prayer, emphasizes anew to us our helplessness, and we realize how impotent we are by nature to believe, to love, to hope, to serve, to sacrifice, to suffer, to read the Bible, to pray, and to struggle against our sinful desires.'

God isn't looking for your perfection and your strength today. He is looking for you to trust in His perfection and His strength." (end of devotional)

Even though I don't think any of us really acknowledge it as we go through our daily activities, we are so very, very helpless in all things. The only power we truly have is that which allows us to turn that helplessness over to our God.

Our prayers continue for the Tsevatewa family.

Love,
