Emotional wellness

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Staying positive is a challenge when one is surrounded by a constant badgering of unpleasant news. Blood test after blood test, CT-scans, ultra sounds, biopsies, and the list goes on. Month after month, the results are worse sometimes not improving. It takes faith the size of a mustard seed to move mountains, those negative news are like mountains. Lord, please give me a constant supply of faith the size of mustard seeds to move my mountains!

Good news is as cold water to a thirsty soul! A tiny ray of hope, today my echo-cardiogram results showed that my heart is doing fine despite the tornado going on inside. I'm glad the light in that tunnel was not another train.

Respirologists want to do an open lung biopsy to get a sizable chunk of tissue for more testing but I am not keen on it. It will provide information, but will not lead to healing. Just like the woman in the Bible with the issue of blood, I need the touch of Jesus. Paul the Apostle told Timothy to hold fast the form of sound words which Paul has spoken in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 1:13). I am holding fast and not letting go!


2 Kings 6:15-17
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
