Charles Stanley: "There is no other method of living piously and justly, than that of depending upon God." John Calvin When We Feel Helpless 2 Chronicles 20 Have you ever been walking on the shore of a lake or ocean and discovered a fish that has recently been expelled from its watery home? It is a sad sight, really. Too far from the water’s edge to throw itself back in the depth, the creature is doomed to flip and flop around on the shore in a panic-driven attempt to reach the saving waters. In such a situation, the fish is, without a doubt, utterly helpless. Because the fish is unable to save itself, the only hope is for a passerby to notice its plight and help him back into the water. While the rescuer may not even realize his usefulness, this act is of utmost importance to the hapless fish. It was in a position of certain death; then, through no effort of its own, it was carried back into the safety of the waters. Sometimes we, like the fish, find ourselves thrown to the rocks, unable to move. Family crises, problems at work, and broken relationships work to break apart our lives. Lying on our backs, gasping for breath, God must see us much like we would see a struggling fish out of water. When everything has been stripped away and we are unable to rescue ourselves, take comfort in the One who sees your plight. His hands are big enough to lift us up, and He has already promised to carry us to safety. intouch.org

Gregor: Update on prayers and God answering: It has been a very busy day! I have not had time to stop yet! I let my son start with an evaluation for this "SI," that he has. Apparently it is very treatable and will need a few months of treatment, probably with an Occupational Therapist. Today, he saw the Physical Therapist, for his first Evaluation. He passed that with flying colors. Really, the treatment will be, not with his coordination, which was tested with the Physical Therapist, but with his Sensory Integration skills, which will be evaluated and treated by the Occupational Therapist. I counted 7 confirmations, all in less than 7 days! So, I am sure this is confusing, but the great news is that he will be treated and learn to integrate his sensory perception, successfully, in a short time! I want to see my out of sync son, in sync! Me: I get to have a CBC re-check this week, and it is my understanding that it will be a few months, at least to see my Red Blood Cell Count built up. Please pray for that! I am on iron supplements, and that helps sustain my energy! Westi
