OK, so I never would have thought I’d learn something profound from ER (the tv show).  But I did.  And I’ve been thinking about it all day today.  And call me crazy, but last night after the show, I was thinking about this “profound news” and it even brought me to tears for a moment.  I think my hormones are still figuring themselves out.

Well here it is:  the chaplain lady was talking to Abby (Dr. Lockheart) and said something to the effect of “sometimes using all your strength means asking for help.”  I’m the queen of NOT asking for help.  Whatever the excuse - don’t want to burden someone else with assisting me, my pride gets in the way, asking for help shows weaknesses in me, denial that I need help…I can come up with lots of excuses.  And the ironic thing is: (1) God knows my weaknesses and promises to provide for all my needs and (2) I have the most willing and supportive husband ever - and he would gladly help me with anything I needed.  Silly me.

So today I’ve been praying about this:  Lord, help me to understand that “your grace is sufficient for me, for your power is made perfect in my weaknesses.  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”  2 Corinthians 12:9  If I’m perfect, I don’t need a Savior.  And I’M DEFINITELY NOT PERFECT.  I know for sure I’m far from it.  I need a Savior, every minute of every day.  Amen!
